Busy Bees

Monday, September 20th 2021

The bees are busy around the flowers, feeding on the nectar. Water Mint is a good nectar flower. Thanks to Tim for these photos.

Andrew also caught one feeding, this time on Hemp Agrimony.

It was starting to feel warm and this bee was cleaning itself and warming up. It was also raising a leg to warn me that I was too close!
