Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to appreciate the pollinators in all of the fantastic flowers we've seen!
Pollinators Galore
On the walks we've been taking, my son and I, we've made it a point to stop as often as we can to get to check out the flowers that we see as we walk by. We have also thankfully seen an increase in the number of working bees and pollinators all over the place!
After a pretty long winter it's always nice to see the flowers popping up and hearing the distinct "bzzzzzz" of the hungry bumble and honey bees!
Thankfully we have ample things in our area to help the bees out to grow their nests and bring back food for the group. We have a significant number of very large, flowering trees all over the place! I love seeing the thick yellow sacks of pollen on the legs of the honeybees, that always cracks me up!
Seeing the large butt of the bumble bee here is a nice thing to catch. One thing I miss in the wintertime is seeing the bees all over the place. We sadly didn't plant a bunch of plants on the deck this year since we are moving but last year our deck was quite popular with the little fellas! We've had some bumble bees stop by to check out our area and see if there's any food. I don't think they live long enough to know there was stuff there last year but you never know.
With the proliferation of the flowers and the bees, it's good that we recently learned that our son isn't allergic to bee stings. He unfortunately got jabbed by a bee last year when he was messing around on a walk we took and boy did the bee let him know! Gave him a good sting in the back of the neck and now he is terrified of bees lol always seeing them but running behind me so they don't get too close. Poor fella! :D
We are going to stop by one of the local farms in a couple days to get some plants to put outside in the dirt and try to help out the pollinators a bit! They are obviously well adapted to the spring and can find enough food to survive, it's just good to give them a helping hand when we can. We will certainly be helping them out!
