A mining bee collecting pollen from a dandelion.

It’s hard to exaggerate just how poplar these Small-fruit Hakea (Hakea microcarpa) were with pollinators. This squat shrub, growing on the side of the road, was absolutely teeming with life! [Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW]

Pollination Population at Leela European Cafe, Denver

Project 7 x 52: Pollinators. I found dozens of varieties on a just a few plants in the Peace Garden in Bear River.

These tiny beetles were all over the orchids on Mount Mitchell. I wonder if they are just stealing nectar or actually contributing to pollination. They seem too small to be pollinators for these flowers. It was getting dark, the batteries in my flash had died, and the pop-up flash just doesn't work for macros, so I was having quite a challenge to get a picture. Had to crank up the ISO and most of them were blurry. This was the best of the bunch.

A variety of insects crawling through the flowers of an elder bush shortly after rainfall.

I wonder if any of those insects will act as pollinators?

We only have two pollinators up here in the North .. these furry Bumblebees, and a litle fly, which has learned over the eons to look and behave very much like a bee. No Honeybees. Here, amid a field of Fireweed, our pollinator is resting on a burnt Spruce tree, drying out in the cool air after a major rainshower.

Busy little bee!

There were at least 30 bees buzzing around the little pussy willow tree in the front yard this afternoon. A few of them were kind enough to pose for some photos for me.

Pollinators are attracted to a number of plants, but seem to favor blue and purple flowering plants the most. Lavender and blue sage are favorites in my garden. The next time you are adding to your garden, consider adding a few of the following:

Herbs: Lavender, Sage, Cilantro, Thyme, Fennel.

Annuals: Sunflower, Calendula, Poppy, Heliotrope, Zinnia.

Perennials: Geranium, Buttercup, Aster, Hollyhock.
