I am hand pollinating some of my cucumber flowers to help Mother Nature some. This ensures that every flower gets pollinated. Just helping the bees out a bit.

The Eastern Carpenter Bee is a spring pollinator, but is also classified as a wood-destroying insect. Female carpenter bees excavate round tunnels in wood. In human structures, carpenter bee nests are built in siding, soffits, fascia, and other exposed lumber. Because next generation bees may return to the same site where they were born, tunnels can be expanded over time and reduce the structural integrity of lumber. Woodpeckers can exacerbate damage by extracting bee larvae from wood structures through pecking.
Note that carpenter bees have a shiny abdomen compared to the hairy abdomen of similar-looking bumble bees. Male carpenter bees have a yellow spot on their face, will buzz and dive-bomb people near nest sites, but cannot sting. Female bees have an all black face, but are reluctant to sting.

I have two domed cotoneaster bushes in my back garden which are simply buzzing at the moment, they burst into bloom a few days ago and I counted at least 5 different species of bees and other pollinators on them in the space of a few minutes
Iowa State University has planted several pollinator plots across the state. The idea is to have flowering plants as early in the spring and late in the fall as possible. There are two plots near Elkhart Iowa. Looking at the image for NRCS's Pollinator plot you can see some difference in the plant mix but the same end result Taken 9/19/18

Last week the peach, apple, pear and cherry trees were all bursting with blossoms and promise of finally a good fruit crop.
This morning, the temperature hit 23 degrees F.
John was out with a garden hose early this morning hoping to salvage something. now it's just wait and see.
Chamisa is a shrub native to the high desert. It blooms in the Fall, and the bees just can't get enough of it! Look at those back legs...
I plant as many varieties of flowers as possible to encourage the pollinators to visit. The Obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana - aka False Dragonhead) is in full bloom and the bees are going nuts over the flowers. I got these in a garden trade with a friend. I had them in our garden at our old house but did not bring any along. I do have to spray them to keep the deer at bay.

Saturday’s Events
Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before.
Arvin Temkar invites you to visit his a Bibliotherapy Booth, where people can discover poems, quotes, and literature suited to what's happening in their lives. Arvin is a writer and photographer whose work examines complexity, tension, and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America. He will also be displaying some of his photography in the windows of his studio.

This butterfly had such a subtle beauty on this lichen-encrusted rock. Gardner Lake, Shoshone National Forest, WY. 7/17/2021. This photo was submitted for the May 2023, employee photo contest: flowers and pollinators.

Specialised pollination mechanisms are found in many of our orchids. In the majority of species, there is single anther, showing considerable modification, which contains pollen aggregated into pollen masses known as ‘pollinia’.
In Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea) there are two pollinia - one from each pollen sac - and these have minute stalks attached to sticky discs. Butterflies are the main pollinators. As a visiting butterfly feeds, the pollinia adhere to the proboscis at about a right angle (shown in previous image).
Soon after the pollinia stick to the proboscis, they begin to tilt forwards and are eventually parallel to it (as shown here) - an ideal position to strike the stigma of the next flower visited by the butterfly.
The butterfly shown is about 25 mm across.
