Absolutely beautiful! If we take care of the bees they’ll take care of us.

I agree... Absolutely Beautiful! We have a bee keeper who tends to his bees in our pasture. He is kind enough to give us some honey every year. It is yummy in my herbal teas. Sending hugs... Granni B

I love some Hymenoptera (Bees). Hornets never... Wasps sometimes. In my youth as a boy scout I was working on my beekeeping merit badge when the beekeeper mentor had to move away (military). With no other beekeepers nearby, I had to drop it. To this day I think about it often. I now plant flowers for all the pollinators and switched in life to Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies).

I see few Monarch Butterflies so l asked my kids to help design a buttery garden. I found one one line... it's on Our Maybe Someday List. Sending hugs... Granni B

Just remember Granni B, that what attracts butterflies also attracts bees. Cant have one without the other.
