A noun. A verb. A blog.
A post-Christmas celebration of some of Nature’s busiest creatures, bees and bumblebees (and wasps) in the great big Apidae family. Let’s recognize how essential pollinators like bees are to our planet. Please join me in a wish that human bee-ings do everything in our power to serve and protect them in 2018 and beyond.

Stunning!
Thanks, Veronica. Happy New Year to you!
My kind of post! Have a bee-u-tifal New Years!
I thought of you as I put this together, Janet – but your beautifully photographed post would also have all the plant and bee species correctly identified and labelled with common and botanical names. Happy new year to you, too!
Gorgeous close-ups!
Thanks, Jessica. It’s amazing just how much close-up photography has taught me about bugs and botany.
Ah yes. I needed that!
Glad to provide some out-of-season garden therapy, Aldona. Happy New Year!
Memories of summer – just what we need when the cold winds are blowing! I’m currently digging into seed catalogues and will, undoubtedly, indulge and purchase much more than I can sow…happens every year so I just go with the flow on that one.
Having such a small garden keeps me from overspending (or major overspending) with seed catalogs. I make up for it by being spendthrift with bulbs and perennials.
