Categorygathering pollen
What a joy to see a honeybee gathering pollen, since the honeybee population is in severe decline.

bumblebee at work
it is hard to gather pollen when the wind is blowing at the top of the riverbank – the video should do well on full screen – I do not know why the little circle stays in the middle on the small screen view!

bumblebee in flight towards the flowers and its work pollinating plants of all kinds
I have only seen one honeybee this spring and I worry about the loss of these golden pollinators.
thankfully a friend caught my error: this is a carpenter bee not a bumblebee – sorry for the error!
