Bees

I am learning about bees. Of course I see them buzzing around my yard, and nothing is quite so pleasant as watching the bees busy at work, joyfully flying amidst the flowers while I quietly watch them.

Bees are a necessity in our gardens and although we are familiar with Honey Bees and Bumbles Bees, there 100’s of different kinds of bees. In the spring, Bumble Bees pollinate most flowers in the spring; they wear that “fur coat” after all and therefore are more tolerant of the cold.

Here is a wonderful article about Mason Bees and how to add them to your yard. I will be adding more and more information here about bees, so please keep coming back and checking my blog about bees.

In the meantime, enjoy the bees that are so busy at work making sure that our flowers and crops are pollinated and rewarding us with their delicious honey. I think of them each morning as I drink by honey and apple cider vinegar tea.
