Bees are busy working the lavender this morning. Some days, there are a dozen varieties of insect nectar-seekers on this bush – European honey bees, native California bees, moths and butterflies – but this morning just the one. I wish I was better at insect identification – I need to pick up a field guide to native bees, and it looks like the Urban Bee Project is working on just such a thing.
Feed the bees!
