Felt a bit like spring down by Hidden Pond on the sanctuary this morning.
A little bit of warmth in the air. A few insects breaking the winter curfew. And that subtle change in the light.
Definite stirrings.
Yes definite stirrings.

Take a moment.

#pause

Go do some #good.
Have the best week you can.
If you’re not having a good week - tell someone.
And if someone tells you -
Listen.
Really #listen.

Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

# 286.

The surface of a bumblebee’s two large compound eyes is smooth and hairless.
Is that not obvious? I hear you think.
Nope - honey bees and many other insects have what are called interommatidial hairs on the eye surface.

Good evening, hope your day’s suited you so far.

What a sight to behold.

Bumblebee all in on this cucumber flower. No doubt.

What we call the double goodness.
Bumblebee gets fed.
Bumblebee pollinates our #cucumbers and feeds us.

All for free.
And natural.
Gotta love #bumblebees folks.
