Today is World Bee Day and if you are up for a challenge join the global online
Waggle Dance Challenge which is an Australian-led global celebration to raise awareness
of the importance of bees for food and the environment.
Always reassuring to find bees hovering in the garden. What a lovely image, especially with the bees but also the contrast between the yellow and red. Flower and bud?
Thank you. Yes it is a flower and bud. The tree is a Red-capped gum, also known as an Illyarrie. The red bud opens out to reveal the yellow flowers. Quite stunning!
The bees are sure enjoying that flower.
ReplyDeleteNice capture.
ReplyDeleteNot a bee to be seen down here at the moment.
Excellent capture. We are having wind/drizzle today and I suspect the bees are hunkered down in the dry.
ReplyDeleteI have become very fond of bees--- not hornets or wasps, though. I want to pet bumblebees.
ReplyDeleteMy friend’s garden was alive with bees before the snow melted. It was interesting to see them that early.
ReplyDeleteSo nice indeed
