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 🙂

“Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,
Chaste Snow-drop, venturous harbinger of Spring,
And pensive monitor of fleeting years!”

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.
