Fuzzy little punks!

Three days the flowers were blooming and no insects came even though they were swarming the blueberries.

I spent over an hour hand-pollinating this bush this morning and now 3 different species of bees are visiting the flowers.

WERE THEY WATCHING ME???

Habropoda laboriosa, blueberry digger bee
Osmia taurus, tuarus mason bee
Apis mellifera, western honey bee

Every borough, town, and city should have a webpage that discourages residents from subscribing to those frequent (every 2-3 week) insecticide applications from companies like Mosquito Shield, Mosquito Joe, and Mosquito Squad. As an example, here's the blurb from Media, Pennsylvania, the town next to me. #mosquito #mosquitoes #spraying #pollinators #insects #pesticides #government #mediapa #delco #pennsylvania #pyrethroids mediaborough.com/446/Mosquito-

Busy bees, April 4, 2025. Pollen going in and I see some drones at the Center hive. The hybrid willows are blooming and full of bees, and the Norway Maples, sarvis berries, peaches, and plum will be blooming in a few days probably.

, on the other hand, do not seek to pollinate plants – they are looking for food; so plants make sure it’s worth their while. Insects are also remarkably sophisticated in their ability to find, recognise and find their way inside

So has evolved as a complex dance between plants and that is essential for life on earth to continue.
