Chuff²Finally got my B plates⌠I mean BEE plates, only been trying since October
#STL #MO #St-Louis #Missouri #Bee #Bee-Friendly
I have 1 large pot that I just #plant #seeds in & see what, if anything, comes up.
In amongst some #beefriendly plants a few more #CherokeePurple #tomatoes have started appearing.
There should be LOTS of red #nasturtiums in there too - but no sign of them so far. âšď¸

Maikel de BakkerFlowers of the Kampina â Part 3
Summer in the Kampina is a feast for the senses, and nowhere is this more evident than in its wildflowers.
I began with Sagittaria graminea (smalbladig pijlkruid), its delicate white petals catching the morning light, while a honeybee worked busily at the top of the frame. Nearby, the toxic yet beautiful Cicuta virosa (waterscheerling) stood tall, its blossoms framed by a shimmering bokeh from the water behind.
The humble Prunella vulgaris (gewone brunel or bijenkorfje) was nextâa true bee magnet. I captured it with my Canon 5D Mark III and MP-E 65mm macro lens, a rare, specialized lens that magnifies from life-size to five times life-size without additional accessories. Itâs a tool for those who want to dive into the smallest worlds nature hides.
At the northeast near Huisvennen, I wandered into a sea of blooming clover. My photo shows just one flower, but the meadow was alive with bees darting between blossoms.
The heath is also in bloom, painting the landscape in purples and pinks. In the early morning, unopened buds still held tiny dew dropletsâeach a perfect lens for the rising sun.
Finally, the Galeopsis tetrahit, here in a pale form with purple specks. While modest in appearance, it belongs to the vast orchid familyâone of the oldest and most diverse plant families on Earth.
Next: Part 4 â Birds of the Kampina.

Pino CarafaSome local #bee keeper will be getting oregano flavoured honey. The oregano in this corner of the garden has gone wild and it's full of little pink flowers. There are dozens of these bees and also bumblebees all over it. So my tip for a #BeeFriendly garden: plant #oregano . You can even use it in your food đ¤Ş
