A honeybee and a bumblebee feeding on mountain mint in my garden. I haven't seen many honeybees this year. The bumblebees are ubiquitous, as always. Now that the hydrangea is in full bloom, I might see more honeybees. #Gardening #Zone5 #MountainMint #Honeybee #Bumblebee #BeesOfMastodon #BloomScrolling

The builder did a wonderful job on this mud and stone home. This is a 2024 home built on a 2023 slender mountain mint stem. Something is maturing safely inside. #pollinators, #wasps, #nativeplants, #minnesota, #mountainmint, #naturalbuilding.

I went back to the marsh today and this time I remembered to take my camera! #butterfly #wasp #insects #insectphotography #wildflowers #flowers #flowerphotography #nature #naturephotography #lily #berries #rosinweed #mountainmint #dogwood

I went to the marsh to take pictures and I forgot... wait for it... my camera! Luckily, I had my tiny backup camera with its macro lens in my purse, so it wasn't a total waste of time. #wildflowers #nature #flowerphotography #naturephotography #photography #swamprosemallow #ironweed #blackeyedSusans #mountainmint #daisies

Another comparison:
May 7, 2022 vs May 7, 2023 (different angles though) #JoePyeWeed #StiffGoldenrod #ShowyGoldenrod #MountainMint

These are now 4 years old and should be bigger but #NorthernIllinois is definitely ahead of last year. (The Showy Goldenrod may be a no show due to human misunderstanding. ☹️) #Zone5b #gardening #NativePlants
