Tiny bee on tiny blooms...................

@rebelann Are those baby bees or are they a tiny species? I think it was a year or so ago we had tiny bees too - I haven't seen them lately. I do see bigger ones now, but we have a couple plants that we didn't have last year. I don't know how pumpkin growing works, but the sunflowers here have attracted lots of bees - that'd be good. Do they flock to the hollyhocks?

This past year I only saw about 2 large bees and it's just now that I've seen these teeny ones. I think they are just a different type of bee, I've seen them before when I didn't have wasps.

I love those little bees. I was able to get up really close and they didn't mind. I miss those bigger bees I used to get. Maybe if I plant sunflowers and pumpkin they'll come back.

I like them too but I miss those bigger ones, this year I have only seen 2 of the larger bees so far

@rebelann We have some large bumblebees, they are friendly insects, I let them in the garden and they never bother me.

Years ago I would get those big bumble bees also, I miss them.

I agree. They have been swarming this plant for the past 3 days.

@rebelann

It made me so happy to see them.

@rebelann

Thank you. I've read so much about how bees are now endangered due to people using insecticides and herbicides so to me it's a relief to see them here.

Thanks, I hope you have a wonderful weekend

@rebelann Thank you very much.

They are fascinating to watch and very hard to get photos or videos of.

You're right, environmentalists are warning everyone that bees are endangered and if the perish it'll make it much harder for food to grow.

Oh yes, plus they're making honey. I think these are honey bees but I'm not sure.
