So this week Tina’ let us choose our own theme. I am, perhaps unsurprisingly, going for some glorious bees to remind us of last summer and to help us look forward to next year. They are mostly bumblebees but I had to include the beautiful solitary mining bee too.

Fantastic bumbles! Cheered me up no end! xx

Lovely shots and theme… sweet buzzy friends! I miss hearing them and their floral visits in the garden. Hope the queens are enjoying their winter’s rest.

Yes hopefully they are sleeping well. It has been so mild at times this winter I worry they will wake to early.

Wow Krina – very impressive! Do you plant flowers that attract them or are these images from multiple places? Either way you’ve done a wonderful job capturing and identifying them for us. Very beautifully done and an excellent subject for the Your Choice week!

Most of the images the bees are on native wildflowers. Though I take care to plant flowers they will like. The poppy for example self seed themselves in my vegetable patch.

Love your bees! I am very impressed with your ID knowledge! There must be leaf cutter bees nesting somewhere around my place as I notice bites taken out of leaves (mostly roses) during the summer.

Thank you..it does sound like a leaf cutter. We have one species in our garden too but only ever see them in low numbers. It’s a lovely bee though.

Well, if that doesn’t move people to support bees then I don’t know what will. Magnificent!
