I am going to help a friend prune his pomegranate trees. Late winter is a great time of year to prune your pomegranates before they leaf out.
If you keep a pomegranate plant for the fruit, you should not turn your bush into a tree. Heavy pruning of a pomegranate bush into a tree will result in less fruit production.
For More Information I put an article from the Green Thumb here.

The Flower Fields® at Carlsbad Ranch. This ranch has over 50 acres devoted
to raising the ranunculus bulb crop. The dramatic fields of color attract more
than 200,000 visitors each year, many come back again and again. The
ranunculus flower is a member of the Buttercup family. The Tecolote Giant
Ranunculus is the type of ranunculus grown here.
To this day the Flower Fields is the only Ranunculus grower in the world that
allows visitors to walk the fields and experience the bands of color up close.
During the bloom season you can take a wagon ride around the perimeter of
the Flower Fields to get a better look from all sides.
The next time you are in Southern CA between early March to early May drop
by to visit a sea of color at The Flower Fields® at Carlsbad Ranch.

The residents are ignoring a ban on honeybees in NYC and continuing to promote their hobby. Here is an article in CHOW that is well written and informative on the little critters.
With the very existence of honeybees threatened by disease and CCD I hope they are able to get the ban lifted soon. Honeybee pollination is a vital part of our life.
