Sunshine and Holly Bees

Tornado warnings all night. All we got were thunderstorms thankfully. Those was bad enough, along with the high winds. Woke up to sunshine and birds singing. Had my coffee in the screen room with the cats. Temps were nice, only going to be 60s for the next week. Works for me. Walked around the yard and noticed the holly shrubs all around the house are covered in honey bees. They love the little blooms and nectar the hollies produce. I snapped this photo. How many bees can you see here?

@DocAndersen I like the big bumble bees and love seeing them pollen covered in the blooms.

We have had thunderstorm warnings lately here, but nothing major. An online friend that lives in Indiana had tornado there last night and his electric was off.

. But they are fine.

I am allergic to bees, so I prefer that they don't come around, but they do,lol I only see 2 bees

It didn't get as bad as expected here thankfully. The bees were swarming. Many are here hidden.

Beautiful photo. I can barely see them. Perhaps 4? We have holly shrubs as garden borders up north.

I have no idea how many. They were swarming around after the sweet blooms. Mine have grown so much.

I saw three bees, but I wouldn't trust my own eyes.

If I could choose, I would make temperatures in the 60s all year round.

I counted four and probably many more as they were swarming. Same here with the 60s. Perfect weather.

@CarolDM I don't really know what I'm looking for. Anyways it's so good seeing all this spring stuff happening around us. We'll be up to 64F tomorrow (18C) and I'm happy if it goes no further.

The bees sort of blend into the green leaves, there are about four bees here.

The bees are pretty hard to find. Glad there were no tornadoes in your area.
