Happy World Bee Day! I am off to Princeton, BC to do a bee walk and talk. This is a blue orchard bee noshing on Oregon grape in a fire-ravaged area of Mt. Kobau.

Bombus flavifrons drinking nectar from white heather flowers.

a pot of white heather

Had to come to Vancouver to have my first bee sighting of the year--a long-faced flav in the heather. Shows that even one small pot can help queens get busy finding and furnishing their nest. #victorygardensforbees

A female leafcutter bee nectaring on perennial sweet pea.

Blue booty! Blooty! Likely fireweed pollen on the belly of a leafcutter bee foraging in perennial sweet peas. Fireweed is an awesome garden plant for native bees. #bees #victorygardensforbees
