Oh my Godddddd :blobcataww: Ophrys apifera au Parc Floral de Bordeaux.
More "garden" pics. There's #clover starting to bloom in front of the front steps, and #milkweed next to them. I just set up a #bee watering station, with clean stones and marbles.

I planted Bryonia dioica to see if I could get the Bryony mining bee (Andrena florea) which only collects pollen from this plant in our country. Several were present. It proves that if you plant the right flowers, you may get lucky and get to see some nice solitary #bee species.
Spotted this little guy on the path during a walk this morning. Couldn't coax him onto the flowers so kept walking with him, after about 3 minutes he decided he was ready to go and just took off. Hopefully he's doing alright. #savingthebees #bee
Plutôt content de cette photo.
Pas de retouche, sortie directement du téléphone (ok, en RAW quand même)

Getting too hot to camp for us. Time for hobbies...acrylic painting and crochet.

The #Bee house is almost full, possibly a benefit of the unmowed meadow.
If you're creating #bee logs, be sure to keep the face of them dry. These bee logs are at the top of a stone filled gabion, with reclaimed roofing slate providing a protective lip over the edge. The slate is weighed down with reclaimed bricks in a pyramid structure, providing yet more nooks and crannies for invertebrates.
You can just see the young Aronia 'Brilliant', growing well

A beautiful European hornet queen (Vespa Crabro) hanging around the apiary yesterday. European hornets are native to the UK, and despite their formidable size and appearance, they are gentle giants and only get aggressive when threatened or attacked. Their nests are small, and although they like to catch a few honeybees for their lunch, they don't cause any problems or hurt the colony.

This determined little bee gets stuck into some newly flowering French Lavender and, in her own small way, does the world a huge favour. 🐝
I just discovered the hashtag #bloomscrolling and I couldn’t be happier! Here are Matilija #Poppies (Romneya coulteri) from earlier this month at #ElDoradoNatureCenter #LoveLBParks (with bonus #bee)
Australia has had a recent incursion of Varroa mites, perhaps still under control. Here is an overview of the situation and what could happen if the mite spreads throughout the country:

A beautiful day today! I spend most of the day doing yard work but did take some time out to photograph dandelions. Enjoy!
The Bee Tarot will be out sometime in 2024. I can't wait to see the whole deck.

Honey bees are well known to drink water, but yesterday in Tucson our USDA NIFA funded team studying #climate sensitivity of #urban bees observed a furrow #bee drinking from moist soil. #Dehydration may be an under-recognized danger for wild urban bees.
Two swarms of bees here today. One i was able to catch. This one is now in the new box. Part is still sitting outside and fanning to attract the remaining bees of the swarm.
The other swarm sits too high in the tree. My arms are a little too short.
Warning: lots of bees.
It’s world bee day? Okay. Here’s Bombus sylvicola on Prickly Saxifrage. It also sports a couple hive mites near the base of its left wing. #WorldBeeDay #Nunavut #bee #bumblebee
World Bee Day? What an awesome celebration. There are some amazing pics on here today!
Here's a tiny contribution from our garden

Apparently it's world bee day, so here is a photo of a bumble bee I took in Cologne in 2013 in the Rheinpark. I love how fluffy this bee's butt is.

A bee I caught sleeping. I watched it for a while, from a telephoto distance, as it was the first time I had noticed a bee actually just sleeping and I wasn't sure if it was alive. I don't know what I would've done, but I wouldn't have shared 'dead bee image.' Sleeping bees are cute; dead bees, sad. It eventually did buzz off, so 'sleeping bee image.' :)
Since then, I've taken a few other sleeping bee images. :)
For #WorldBeeDay here's a #sketch I did of a #bee in #ink and #ColoredPencil last summer. #MastoArt #Art
A #photo I took many moons ago; that of a #bee, with my beloved in the background. Since it's #WorldBeeDay, I remembered it exists & maybe You find joy in it as I do in that particular #memory.
Today is #WorldBeeDay & so an interesting piece of information.
#DoYouKnow that 'Brahmari' is the #Hindu Goddess of #Bees
In #Yoga, she is represented by 'Pranayama', a type of breathing exercise through nose making a sound like a #Bee buzzing!

Really enjoyed Lars Chittka's talk on #cognition in bees! Big recommendation to go watch it!
Impressions of a bee. (Native Australian Bees)
I think I want to stylize these further? I think. I'm still considering. I got the watercolour vibe I was after. But I think I was hyper vigilant about making the anatomy of each bee stand out that I kind of lost a lot of the initial shapes I had.

This started out so cool in my head - I wanted to do something impressionistic and watercoloury but it didn't end up working. Ah well, back to the drawing board, at least with these images I understand more about bees. Turns out native bees are great and fuzzy and I love them so I'm happy to draw more.
I think a native bee sticker set is just what people need, but I want to make it have flair and pizzazz and this just isn't the direction. 🤔 #bee

The neighborhood is in full bloom. It was fascinating to learn about some of the local flora from @pmonks.

One of our bees on a paver in the garden. Perhaps she was enjoying the last bit of warmth radiating off the stone after a sunny but cool day?

Planting and maintaining a #bee #lawn
University of Minnesota Cooperative extension
"Are you interested in doing more to help our native #pollinators? You can make your lawn do double duty! A bee lawn can not only provide a recreational space for you, your family and your pets, it can also provide much-needed food resources for bees and other beneficial pollinators."
Quick facts:
- Bee lawns have flowers mixed in with turfgrasses such as fine fescues and Kentucky bluegrass.
- The flowers of a bee lawn provide food (nectar and pollen) for pollinators.
- Bee lawns are environmentally friendly because they are managed using low-input methods that generally use less fertilizer and pesticides.
- Bee lawns can still be used recreationally by your household like a regular lawn.
- A bee lawn can attract over 50 species of native bees.
