Busy Bees

The main food source for insects here is the Ivy. It is attracting scores of bees and wasps.

Making the most of the nectar and pollen available:

  1. Terrific images! You can clearly see the little specks of pollen dusted on the bee.

  3. That's probably the last of the supply until spring, sadly...

  4. We have not seen a wasp here for days now although there were some earlier. As for bees - when I went to afriend's this afternoon, the sedum in her front garden was covered with them.
