Another unsuccessful look for butterflies. In spite of the local weather forecast saying good weather, it was mainly overcast and cool. Not a single butterfly was seen on my wander though a few of these large bees were out.

Early crocuses are coming up all over the yard, and the bees are making the best of today's short burst of warm sunshine. The clouds are back now, and of course snow is predicted for this week! Well, it IS March in New England...

Honey bee on lavender.
Cheated a bit and put some drops of honey in the flowers to make the bee stay a bit longer.
this bee was crawling around on the garden path, and was really docile and I didn't see it fly. Not sure what the reason was but I helped it onto some flowers so it could feed , took a few snaps and then let it be.
Not a good shot but the first miner bee I've seen this year - presumably Andrena sp. Trying to shelter from the high winds we've had all week.
The bees have made this sedum their kingdom but unfortunately the spiders have moved in too so I break their webs to try to help the bees.
I wish you all well in whatever way is most appropriate for you but cannot take on the extra work of writing it to you individually. Thankyou for your good wishes and to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments. Please no more than 1 invite.
Found this huge abandoned bee's nest at the top of the wall at Mt. Nemo. The comb was crumbling and falling off.
I have a large Lavender plant in my garden, which is helping to make some tasty honey somewhere close, just don't know where...

Seemed to be a cue for this flower. Wondered if the smaller one in the flower is a male Colletes sp.
Apparently not- more like ly a small miner bee Andrena sp.
