Our gardens are attracting bees!
Butterfly Weed, with friend.
Milkweed, with bumblebee.
Bee Balm...without bees for now.
Am learning more about the native plants that we've put into our gardens, and delight when we have visitors.
🐝Is this cool or what?!?🐝

Bumblebees are definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice your plants are working out as you had hoped.
ReplyDeleteAfter several years of decline we have had an abundance of bees for the last two years, particularly the large bumble bees.
ReplyDeleteYou can sure tell where the saying busy as a bee came from. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteSo good that you are planting bee friendly plants.
ReplyDeleteIt's the bees that will save our planet!!!!
Purrs, Julie
It's so important to plant things that made the native critters happy. Very beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥
Beautiful! What a wonderful thing to have, your own little natural environment that is good for bees! Right now, our bees are more interested in sucking water out of anything they can find than pollen - it is so hot and dry here.
ReplyDeleteIts fun to watch all the pollinators come for a feast.
ReplyDeleteOh this made me so happy. For you, but for the bees. THANK you for caring
ReplyDeleteGreat native plants. My yard is alive with bees of all kinds.
ReplyDeleteMy orange milkweed has bloomed. As has my bee balm. So far all the little pollinators are loving it
The more bees the better!!
ReplyDeleteWe have all those too. We have tried to grow a butterfly bush many times and those never make it.
ReplyDeleteThe buzz of bees in the background is the soundtrack of a sunny, warm summer afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping the bees to thrive.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing them at work!
ReplyDeletePollinators are going crazy here, and such a joy to behold. Good on you for planting milkweed and butterfly weed. What a stupid name for the latter, right? I'm happy to have rescued a volunteer butterfly weed from a gravel bed. It's surprising that my breaking off the taproot didn't kill the little thing. :)
