The Pollinators Garden at the Penn State Arboretum opened recently and it is already amazing...it will be magnificent in a few years. I've never seen all pink coneflowers before...and while my photo doesn't have any pollinators in it, they were all over these beauties. Hope you have an amazing Friday!
A Pearl Crescent butterfly rests delicately on a cluster of blooming milkweed flowers, soaking in the summer sun. Captured in sharp detail against a lush green background, this moment highlights the beauty of native pollinators and wildflowers.

Plains coreopsis, agastache, evening primrose, set in a bouquet for flying critters. I added the agastache and coreopsis this year. The glossy leaves are the primrose. I may be able to get a photo of them tomorrow
For the 115 in 2015 Group - #66 Pollination
Usually a normal sight from early Spring onwards. But this year the very cold summer has made life difficult for the insects. We have seen almost no butterflies, and even these hardy wild bees have been scarce until a late warm spell in September!

It's that time of the year when the Bees are so very busy pollinating all of the beautiful flowers.
Thank you all so very much for your visits !!!
It hit 77 degrees here yesterday afternoon and the pollinators were rallying around anything still blooming that had not succumbed to the frost earlier in the week.
viewed large you can see the pollen on the bee butt and the stigma.

Note the yellow, bulky pollen basket attached to a hind leg, similar to that of the numerous honeybees on the same bush. (This girl's mommy is going to insist on giving her a bath when she gets home!)

There are over 20,000 known species of bee globally. Around 270 species of bee have been recorded in the UK.
Bees are perfectly adapted to pollinate, helping plants grow, breed and produce food. They do so by transferring pollen between flowering plants and therefore keeping the cycle of life turning.
The vast majority of plants we need for food rely on pollination, especially by bees: from almonds and vanilla to apples and squash. Bees also pollinate around 80% of wild flowers in Europe, so our countryside would be far less interesting and beautiful without them.
But bees are in trouble. There's growing public and political concern at bee decline across the world. This decline is caused by a combination of stresses – from loss of habitat and food sources to exposure to pesticides and the effects of climate breakdown.
