The bee detective
If I have time, there's nothing more I enjoy than a bit of detective work. I couldn't help noticing yesterday the dark orange colour of this honey bees pollen sacs, which were in complete contrast to the almost white ones of the bee I uploaded a couple of days before. I therefore enjoyed researching flowers which have orange pollen and I discover that today's bee upload had been enjoying a lovely mix of field scabious, buttercup, dandelion, ivy and wild mustard. It would seem that this lucky bee was maybe visiting from a more rural area unless of course it was in the habit of visiting local wild flower meadows which are reasonably close by. The local councils seem to be getting a bit better at either leaving patches to go wild or creating space in the local parks for wild flower meadows. Alternatively this bee could have been bingeing on rock rose and Californian poppy, two favourites of suburban summer gardens.
