I got lost on my way in from the #meadows and wandered aimlessly for over an hour before accidentally stumbling upon home - hence the delay in getting this to you.
Wouldn’t happen to a bumblebee!
What?

Despite the small size of their brains #bumblebees are really really good at navigation.
They navigate on a par with vertebrates and in certain aspects their sense of direction is better than that of humans.

A recent study utilising computer modelling and focusing on two common European #bumblebees indicates that #bees need food up to a month earlier than when many recommended ‘pollinator friendly’ plant species actually flower.

This is the last week of #summer but today is hot and #sunny and so the #pollinators are out doing their thing before it gets to damp and dark and the #flowers wither away. In the front #garden, one of the #plants attracts a lot of #bees and #hoverflies. Here are some pictures I took with my #camera using a #MacroLens.
I'm not sure whether this is a #Bee or a #HoverFly.
You can see the #PollenSacs on this #Bee.

These bees are like cuckoo birds, laying their eggs in the nest of other bees.

My friend is back. Only comes when the sun goes down. It's so cute
It went into all the melon flowers and cucumber flowers on the balcony before it flew away. It's so fun watching it.

last year, I had to hand pollinate all my cucumber plants because I couldn't find any bees to do the job.
But this year, I have a lot of #bees of different types, even a chunky bumble bee visiting my #balcony every day and seems busy pollinating my cucumber and pepper plants.
I don't know what is the difference between this year and last year, but I am really enjoying it and already have some 20 baby #cucumbers on one plant.

### My mystery plant seems to be nothing but a cucumber plant I had forgotten about.
It has many tiny cucumbers growing and I have seen lots of tiny #bees and one bumble bee get in and out of the flowers.
Looking forward to taste the first #cucumber of 2024.

Having a dog getting me out and walk much more than before, så i am seeing new things aäö the time.
There was a small park behind pir apartment with lots of malberry trees. Used to go there with the kids to pick up fruits to eat them. But 2 years ago they cut all the beautiful trees out and were working on changing ot
I never walk on that street any more so I didn't see the changes, but they now have turned it into a small botanical garden, lots of exotic trees from around the world and this little thing for bees. It even have 2 drinkable water fountains that is a great thing during the summer when walking the dog.
