Great timing on this article Mindy, I just took a lot of shots of bees yesterday, some of my plants are just absolutely alive with movement and buzzing! I have to move carefully when deadheading, often waiting until the cooler evening time when the bees aren't as active. I am afraid of grabbing one accidentally.
I didn't even recognize my rose shot at first, what a vibrant pink!
(it was actually taken at a large public rose garden in San Jose, a big city
) I had bees in my garden down there but nothing like up here in my new garden with lots of surrounding fields and farms.
Here are a few shots from yesterday and a few from the past few weeks too.
One of my popular bee plant right now is
Dahlia 'Bishop's Children'
Globe Thistle seems to be very popular!
(Echinops ritro subsp. ruthenicus)
My Chaste Tree
(Vitex 'Shoal Creek') is still small but the bees do love it too.
I lost my tag for this sage, I need to do some research and see which one this is.
My
Russian Sage 'Little Spire' is super popular with the bees.
