These are the moments that really bring me joy in the garden.

Last slides are very dusty beans :)

Some friends and I were camping in Northern Ontario near Nipissing. The Bumble bees were pretty difficult to photograph cause they didn't stay very long on the flowers. I noticed this one kinda stuck around for a while, so I thought hmm why not try to get a shot of it.

I've seen tiny little bees, big bumbling bumblebees and everything in between. But the best has been the first butterfly today!

This Penn State article and site is a great resource.

Found a Bumblebee and I have to keep my hands to myself due to my allergic reaction but it takes reaction to start within 24 hrs time frame.

Hello all - I thought this might be a good community to get some advice from.

Just saw this today (I’m sure they’ve been working for a while) and was curious what type of wasp I had/is it a beneficial pollinator? My brain went to paper, but then the hives seemed different.

We have a general “live and let live” policy, but this is also right by my wood shop so I’d prefer not to get stung (I have a mild allergy).

Thanks!
