Wow, those bees love your Alliums!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I love both of them--the pollinators for so many reasons, and the Alliums for many reasons, too ... especially because the rabbits don't eat them. Tee hee.
DeleteI don't know near enough about the insects in my flower garden and enjoyed your ID's. So many kinds of bumblebees, and, in the past two or three years, the dominant ones in my New York State garden seem to be much larger than I remember bumblebees being in the past. Just my imagination? I wonder.
ReplyDeleteBumblebees larger? I haven't really noticed, but after reading your comment, I did a bit of research, and apparently it can be a thing, for various reasons. I must admit I used some apps to ID most of them. I know the RP bumblebee, just because it's so unique and endangered. But it's great that the Allium blooms serve them all. :)
DeleteGreat photos of the bees! 🐝
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for dropping by my WW today. Glad you enjoyed the sunset.
Thanks! Yes, your sunset photo was beautiful! Happy WW. :)
DeleteFantastic photos, Beth. Those pollinators look busy and productive, working on the alliums. I love to watch bees at work. Tina
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tina. :) I wish I could spend more time just observing them. I guess I just need to simply set aside some time. Yes, they are fascinating!
DeleteGorgeous captures, Beth! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers attracting such lively visitors.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos, I love the fluffy bumblebees.
ReplyDeleteWell done Beth, I loved each and every photo. I am happy to report tons of bees, butterflies and moths this year in our garden. I am so happy, because last year we did not have many.
ReplyDeleteBoth pollen producer and pollinators are simply lovely. Watching bees in flowers on a summer morning--brings joy.
