That's odd - I don't think that our hawthorn is out yet. We seem to have two types of blackthorn. Planted ones around road landscaping and the like which is always earlier (and now over) and blackthorn in copses and the like which is later and still in flower. Probably real native stuff in the copses and some exotic genotype in the plantings.
Maybe they need exotic bees too to go with all this exotic planting.
We did have some early dandelion but there is now a major showing of it in some places.
