Fall Garden Pollinators
Fall Garden Pollinators, the bumble bees are still hard at work. Bumble bees are keystone pollinators in the ecosystem. They pollinate food crops, trees, and of course, flowers. In my own yard, I realized that the more native plants I planted, the more pollinators visited my garden. Which has been beneficial for my food crops!
Amazing how all of creation has a purpose and it all works as designed, the pollinators being an example of such design.
Bees sleeping outside the nest will sleep under a flowerhead or inside a deep flower like a squash blossom where the temperature can be up to 18 degrees warmer close to the nectar source.

Excellent macro shots Sandra!
Thank you very much, I enjoy trying something different now and then.
It’s amazing just how fuzzy bees are – I never realized it before bees were “furry”. 🙂
I know, even cuter with pollen everywhere.
Great photos, Sandra. Our pollinators are integral to our survival.
Thank you very much Mary 😊

It is so interesting that the bees sleep where it is warmer next to the nectar source. Lovely photos too.
Yes, every morning I find them all asleep under a leaf or flower head. So peaceful to see them sleeping.

Interesting to know where bees sleep outside the nest, this was new for me. Thanks for sharing Sandra.
You are very welcome, it is quite something to see in the morning and as the sun rises and warms them up they start moving and stretching, so cute.
