A honey bee rolling in pollen
#InsectThursday & #ThursdayThrowback combined from 2nd April 2025 with a #bee covered in pollen in a dandelion. Such important flowers this time of year for #pollinators. #Lancashire #vitaminN

This is a good beekeeping book. I learned about an AI I actually like! A man named A.I. Root popularized Langstroth hives, built standardized gear, and taught generations how to care for bees. 🐝 #beekeeping #pollinators #feedthebees #bees
Surely the most striking mining bee, such beautiful colours and looking so fresh.
Our 1st one in our #wildspaces this year.
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva).

🦟 Spring Smoothtail 🔍
Yesterday I published an article about spotting the Spring Smoothtail hoverfly in April, and then, on my daily walk, there it was—freshly emerged and soaking up the sunshine a day early.

I really enjoy Narcissus Bulb Flies. They’re large, they wear flashy clothes and they’re bemusingly territorial. They’re unmistakable from 20 feet away. And they love Geranium incanum like all the native bees do. Presented in SloMoVision. [Alameda, CA 3-31-26] #pollinators #flies

Made a new friend at the Butterfly House in St. Louis. The Blue Morphos are very active with the warmer weather!

A small grey and brown Cattle Dog sits folded in an origami of despair on a small rug next to the bed and nightstand while I do Continuing Education hours for Master Gardener online.
Big “This Zoom meeting about Butterfly Gardening is not about me” energy. 🐶🦋👩🏼🌾

Queen of the Night Tulips in a bed with grass and leaf litter
You will notice we haven’t cleaned the dead grass out of this bed, yet. We #leavetheleaves until May so that our pollinators get the best chance to do their thing. You wouldn’t believe the firefly show we get in the summer! #pollinators #bloomscrolling #gardensky

Sometimes it’s easy to go a little too hard at the first pollen buffet of the season and you need to #twerk it off. Clean yourself up, little one!

Close-up of a Dark-edged Bee-fly resting on a green leaf. The insect has a round, fluffy brown and yellow body, clear wings, and a long, straight proboscis extending forward. It resembles a small bee but is perched among bright green, lobed leaves in soft natural light.
A record-breaking bee-fly sighting in Scotland 🐝🌍️
The Dark-edged Bee-fly (Bombylius major) was spotted nearly 2 weeks earlier than ever before - an early sign of spring 🌼

A close-up photograph looking down at a dense cluster of small white bell-shaped flowers (heather) with brown centers. A honeybee is visible among the flowers, foraging, partially obscured by the petals.
A macro photograph of multiple stalks of Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) in a sunny garden. The vibrant, deep purple bell-like florets are clustered on upright stems, surrounded by long, thin green leaves.
Pollinator patrol is active in the garden today. Good to be back in Cork. 🐝💜
The white heather is absolutely humming (look closely at the first pic!) and the Grape Hyacinth blue is just stunning in this sun. Great to see the honeybees out.

In a cluster of last year's dead grass and stems is a small fuzzy bee with black antennae and a typical black and yellowish striped abdomen.
Behold the Unequal Cellophane Bee! It's one of the first bees to fly around here in the spring - a pollinator of Red Maples. Cellophane bees are named for the females' ability to mix saliva with butt secretions to make something akin to saran wrap to waterproof their nest cells. #bees #pollinators
These ‘between flight stopovers’ can last for up to an hour and #bees are not always careful about where they take them.
Sometimes the middle of a footpath can be the ‘ideal’ spot!
So if you see a big #bumblebee chilling on the ground don’t always presume she needs rescuing!
