Eager – flying in, almost fully loaded
Honey bee tickling the stamen
White-tailed bumblebee with tongue out in anticipation
Bit of a challenge, but worth the reward
More tummy tickling!
A frenzy 🙂

Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

Ooh, you have a lovely variety of P. somniferum! I only have single mauve and red, but the bees don’t mind.
No, the bees don’t care one bit.
You have beautiful peonies. Very different colors than what I see usually.
I am very happy with this year’s crossings, especially the bright red double. I’ll be saving seed from that one!
Your poppies are wonderful. No wonder the bees love them!
Thanks Cathy. It looks like a wedding around here most mornings, with all the petals scattered everywhere!
Some real beauties here – the insects are having a what of a time.
