During a walk today, it seemed that I saw more bees busily gathering pollen.Perhaps some scientist were correct when they studied bees, finding the bees spent more time out of the hive foraging and stopped work later in the afternoon when the following day proved to be rainy rather than sunny.They seemed to be responding to cues such as changes in humidity, temperature and barometric pressure that preceded rainstorms.

I'd love to know what it is and hope someone can ID it for me.

Looking through my back catalogue of older images I spotted this nice tiny Hoverfly looking so pretty on a strawberry flower.

I do love insects, and I do plant insect friendly flowers in the garden to help them along!
