I used to mow down dandelions at first sight but not anymore!

Before you fire up the lawnmower, remember that dandelions are one of the very first abundant sources of #nectar and #pollen for hungry bees waking up from winter.

I am highly allergic to bees so I try to avoid them. This little guy seemed completely uninterested in me so I snapped a quick pic with my cell. Imagine my surprise to see "pollen pants"! Bright orange pollen packed onto its legs. That is crucial food being carried back to support the hive.

Let them bloom! 💛 #SaveTheBees #Bees #NaturePhotography #Weeds #Dandelion #Appalachia #AndroidPhoto
