All the Pretty Flowers
The bees may be gone but the gap they left behind has been filled at least partially by their much larger cousins. The buzzing roar of the bumblebees is a little intimidating as the zip past your head. They gather pollen fertilizing plants the same as honey bees.
I do love my flowers, pitiful though they may be, and it is nice to have these gigantic insects to keep them company. What is left of them after the grasshoppers are through that is.
wow Megan, your flowers look really good for how hot it is. I am surprised the ones hanging on the shed look so good, it looks like you have been keeping them well watered. Dont drop a bumble bee in your pocket!
