They're Aliiiiiiiiive!

Today was sunny and warm. The honey bees were buzzing about, and we gave the momma rabbits some outside time with their little ones. A check in the 'attic' of the mason bee house confirmed what I thought I saw - that some of the cocoon inhabitants had made their way out into the great, wide, warmer world in search of pollen and a sip of water or nectar.

If you look closely, you can see the holes made in the cocoon walls by the emerging bees.

The apple trees have slowly begun to blossom, much later than the pear and cherry trees here.



One of the girls from the honey bee colony is at work collecting pollen from an apple tree - and below in a clematis flower.

 



 



 

What a lovely day!
