Took some time away from work today to get the #SwampMilkweed & #BeeBalm in the ground, ahead of the horrible 90-101F 10 day forecast coming our way. Added some mulch to try and keep them from drying out too much. Hopefully these will bring some more #pollinators to our #garden!

My tree #rose is blooming and I am hoping it will bring the #bees. My garden is full of #pollenators but my #tomatoes and #squash are not #blooming.

Bees and butterflies on the decline in western and southern North America

Bee and butterfly populations are in decline in major regions of North America due to ongoing environmental change, and significant gaps in pollinator research limit our ability to protect these species, according to a study published May 15, 2024, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Sara Souther of Northern Arizona University, US, and colleagues.

A lovely story about how Democrats and Republicans agreed to increase #honeybee populations in #Texas and give small #landowners an #agriculture deduction. #honey #pollenators #bees #GoodNews

All because a non-bee keeper realized bees were helping their neighbors

Analysis | Wait, does America suddenly have a record number of bees?

A gold-standard source shows a stunning boom in U.S. honeybee populations. Could that possibly be right? A Department of Data analysis found two possible explanations, one more surprising than the other.

A bumblebee gathering nectar on a small aster flower. Taken with a Laowa 25mm macro lens at ~2.5X and f/8. I am still learning to use this lens and it is very challenging. I am thankful for IBIS, as this lens is completely manual and you focus by moving the camera forward and back from the subject. This is not a complaint, I enjoy the challenge and set the camera to its maximum fps. As you might be able to see the plane where the image is in focus is very narrow. I think I might try smaller and slower subjects for a while. #bee #tongue #bumblebee #aster #pollenators #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #macro

This was a shot I did once but then decided to not make it square for instagram. I shot this to practice the rule of thirds drawing your eye to the bee. #bee #flowers #pollenators #merigold #ruleofthirds #depthoffield #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge
