Busy, Busy Bees! -Part II

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Since we let all of the Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) grow in the backyard, so many bees have been visiting the brilliant purple flowers!

We have Common Eastern Bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) and Western Honeybees (Apis mellifera) visiting today!

I just love watching these little hard workers!
