The bees are buzzing and aflying, and collecting pollen…. The blackberry is out in flower and the bees are doing their thing. Welcome to all new subscribers from the Grassroots Community Market in Upwey on the weekend. It was good to meet you all and I appreciate you stopping by my stall.

Have you seen a bee so yellow?
This bee was in the Broom flower and totally laden with pollen. I’ve never seen a bee so yellow before 🙂
Bee and Apple Blossom
We have blossom on our fruit trees now. The plum trees, apple trees and down the road are the cherry blossom blooming. The bees are more evident now and busy all day long.
Bee upon a daisy
Taken on a cold blustery day, the bees didn’t seem to let the weather stop them from their activities. This bee is on a tiny daisy on our lawn – even through the lawns had been mowed only a couple of days before, there were quite a few daisies out on display.

I was pleased with this shot – the bees are out in full force now and are easy prey for a camera, providing you’re willing to follow them around and be patient for the right moment.
The bee and the dandelion
I didn’t know till a couple of days ago that the bees collect pollen and store it on their legs – at least, that’s how it looks in my photos. I hope you enjoy this set.

Now I have my zoom lens back I’ve been focussing on some of the smaller living things in our garden. This week it’s bees mainly – some I took through our bedroom window and others outside. I do have a macro lens but not gain to get too close to these creatures.
