Plenty of bee balm!
Plenty of bee balm!
The bees love the bee balm, Monarda fistulosa.
Bee and bee balm is the perfect combination
The bee balm is starting to bloom here at the homestead. Soon, I'm going to have a very large bumblebee family. #Gardening #Zone5 #BeeBalm #Bumblebee
I was trying to get a photo of the little bees after I took photos of this big bumble bee but wasn't successful but I see I got a good picture of one with the bumblebee. I think it's a Ligated Furrow Bee minus it's usual coating of pollen but it has a little bit stuck to it. The big ones is a Brown-belted Bumble Bee Bombus griseocollis I think.
Good Morning!
Bee balms for your #BloomScrolling day. #BeeBalm #OswegoTea
Bombus vosnesenskii and Bombus melanopygus on the bergamot bee balm today.
Pollinator plant bed update. The purple coneflowers and bergamot bee balm have started to bloom The anise hyssop has had flowers for a week or so. There are still giant pansies and Johnny jump ups blooming and lots of blue borage and calendula getting flowers.
Kind of like honeycomb
