Anyhoo - he proudly announced that he was doing a survey to see how many bees were in our garden. We had been discussing them or rather the lack of them a few days before.
We don't have nearly as many as we did a few summers ago, but we found some normal honey bees, buff tailed and red tailed bumble bees, wasps and hoverflies - lots and lots of hoverflies.
Most of Youngest's photos have a blurry insect blob on a flower but he did take enough to make a couple of montages.
Just love bees! Have logs of bumble bees but very few hone bees in my garden. Looks like you have a tree bumble bee on the blue flowers of the Jacob's Ladder plant. Today a wasp in the polytunnel decided to land on my hair. Managed to persuade it to move on without getting stung!
ReplyDeleteLove his bee pictures. Budding pro here.
ReplyDeleteWell, 'youngest' did a fab job with your camera and I must say your pretty garden is certainly encouraging our much needed but (reputedly) diminishing bee population!

I love it when younger ones are keen photographers, they capture great images!
