From the #garden - it's fun watching the #bumblebees. This summer I'll take some video as well 🙂

Oh yes… lots about when the sun decides to come out.
Though not today with Gale force winds and horizontal rain … beastly conditions for the #Bumblebees.
This one particularly likes the Piris. Flowering Ribes also very popular with them.

My photo of my white azaleas with a little bumblebee enjoying one of blooms.
Wonderful Friday eve morning. We've seen so few bees that it is delightful to just sit and watch and listen to them buzz about! 🐝🌱🍃

Hail to snow-white #Blackthorn on 21st March!
If you have a green space, I heartily recommend a Blackthorn hedge, even a small one & mixed w other native shrub-trees.
You will be rewarded w myriads of #insects & you'll help #bees & #bumblebees & could draw in #warbles & other insect-eating #birds.

Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere-Happy Spring. To my friends in the Southern Hemisphere-Happy Autumn.
Here is a bumble bee (Bombus californicus-?) feeding on a California poppy (Eschscholzia californica).

Brown bee on lilac rosemary flowers
Not sure what this bee is, maybe a Carder bee. There are several feeding on the rosemary but they don’t stay still for photos!
Anyone know?

Today I am mainly catching #bumblebees the size of my thumb and trying to convince them that they should stay outside the house.
My old cat would have had the wings off the lot of them. Tripehound not so bothered - much more interested in trying to stop the duck having a bath.
Apologies to all those of a landscape persuasion as I’ve been a bit lax of late in catering to ye.
You know what they say…
You do.
You know…
You don’t?
Oh…
I thought you did.
Hoped you did…
Because I’ve got nothing…
Oh look…a bee!!!!

Option 2: Queens lay UNFERTILISED eggs late in the nest cycle which develop into MALE #bees with chromosomes from the queen only. Males have no father.
Laying male eggs signals the start of the end for the nest!

I love those fluffy little bumblebees covered in rich pollen.

Baby Bumbles - I noticed what looked like baby #bumblebees gathering pollen on this flowering bush. Got about a minute of slow motion video, none of it especially in focus, but I like the vibe. Listen close for the hum of their wings. #bees #nature
