Finally I have Hollyhocks once more.
The other day I was out and about when the winds had died down some and caught a very happy little bee wrapped around the inner thingy gathering pollen or nectar or what ever it is they gather. The little lady was happily buzzing around all the blossoms.
Most of the bees we see buzzing around flowers are female.
I'm just plain tickled pink that the wabbits haven't been eatin my hollyhocks this year WOOOOWHOOOO

Thats lovely the bee and the hollyhocks.
No garden here but I do enjoy the flowers along the road in other peoples gardens.

Aww, so sorry to hear that @TiarasOceanView it's not easy to get a place that has a garden.

@rebelann Yes I once had a yard and a bit of a garden, sadly it was not meant to be for me.

Years ago when we lived in Sevierville the lady across the road had hollyhocks and I loved them. I asked her for seeds and she gave me a bunch...I planted them at the next house we moved to and some of them grew 10 feet high! Oh the seeds came from Dolly Parton's aunt...small world.

@rebelann Dolly is from Sevier County and half of the county are her relatives. When we lived there we were close enough that we could hear her train whistle.

I don't know very much about DP @AbbyGreenhill I never was one for following celebrities although I do enjoy reading about Queen Elizabeth and her family.
. Yes the males bees (drones) are lazy gits and don't do any work.

I love hollyhocks! Grandma had them and we would pick the blossoms sometimes and use toothpicks to make dolls out of them.
Unfortunately, I have no garden now since I live in Arizona. The sun kills everything. I used to have a garden in Ohio but moved here for my granddaughter. It's an awful place that is as hostile to human life as the moon is, I don't understand why people choose to live here.

I'm not far from AZ, I'm in far west TX and yep it's harsh and anyone who hasn't been here for very long will have a hard time with the drought although I think many would agree that dry heat is much better than muggy heat. I've lived here 57 years so I'm used to the harsh heat of our long summers.

I hope you get the bees, at least then the seeds will be fertile when it's planting time next season.
