I love watching them and getting close enough to see all the pollen on their legs - very cool! Thanks for the reminder to look for borage that has reseeded and not pull it as a weed.

LOL... this time of year, I stand there looking at little green sprouts popping up all over and trying to decide which "volunteers" are weeds to be pulled and which are plants that I want!

There should be a lot of fat, sassy bees out there in the sunshine today. (Oh, and this is O/T, but there's a new peony co-op that you might want to take a look at... I think I just want a couple, so we might be able to do a combined order.)

No kidding! I think I saw at least 8 or 9 different kinds out there this afternoon, not that I have any idea what exactly they are... :-)

My brother goes into anaphylactic shock with a bee sting. I had to learn about bees really early.

A scary learning experience.

But I still love honey.
