I have just found out that today is #WorldHoneyBeeDay. Here is a wee honeybee collecting pollen and nectar from a white rose.

Come with me to the factory that works seven days a week, all Summer and where Bank holidays haven't been invented. A very short video from my tiny garden's wildlife area.

How I start my day. Looking into the honey jar. Closely followed by a dip with a small spoon into the golden nectar provided by local #WeeBees.

Thank you Jean but my little effort, taken with my shaky old hands, is not in that league nor that of @soph0517.bsky.social, who specialises in raindrops and #WeeBees.

A Western Honey Bee at the deep brown centre of a Sunflower, its yellow and black striped body arched down and gossamer wings spread out as it bends to its task of collecting nectar. The beautiful ochre-streaked petals of the bloom complete the picture of late Summer magic by a village roadside. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

Have we seen many #WeeBees today? A few. Many clear shots? Negative. #BlurBee? Let me look through my file. Won’t take more than an hour.

8. My pocket guide to common bumblebees, free when I joined the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Only one in shot here - a Common Carder- but there were plenty of other #WeeBees today.

I have been seeing many #WeeBees lately as things warm up but still
get those frustrating “can’t quite focus #BlurBee moments” ©️ Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social
This one was zipping around a Lupin.

Pink and yellow Lupin flowers in an allotment garden on a sunny afternoon with blue sky and fluffy white clouds. A bumblebee rounds the central bloom in a blur of motion as if about to land on the far side. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

Another week begins and the #WeeBees are still hard at it as autumn draws near, feverishly collecting nectar in the last days of their harvest. #PinkMon #ColorADay

A yellow and black striped Bumblebee hauls itself across the purply pink bloom of a small Hebe plant that recently bought from the garden centre. The insect's black, glistening head is bent forward and the antennae reaches across the flower with the tongue disappearing towards the target. Hairy legs cling to the blossom while the Bee's wings are folded neatly back. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

I planted red Cosmos in the yard outside my little lean-to conservatory to give me a morning boost. It turns out that it's really for the benefit of the local #WeeBees. Bonus.

A Common Carder Bee, looking a bit thin on top - its carapace showing through the fine caramel-coloured fuzz in morning sun - extracts nectar from the yellow centre of a red Cosmos. The light glistens on the veined cellophane-like wings that are folded back while the insect is at work, its shadow falling on petals to the left. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

There are some flowers in my garden that are real magnets for #WeeBees and this blue Ceratostigma/plumbago is currently a top attraction as summer comes to a close.

A Bumblebee, usually transparent wings looking faded and its body coated in pollen dust, sits on the blue petals of a Ceratostigma plant. The insect's glossy black head and antennae droop forward towards the bloom. The background is mostly the green of the shrub's leaves with some red provided by the stems of the flowers. A dark wood fence is blurred out in the distance. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

If you want to attract pollinators, let your oregano bloom. Every year it is buzzing, and every year it self-seeds a in few more spots around the yard, and that’s OK 😊

During the course of some important research today I concluded that #WeeBees prefer purple. Not a scientific study, just my observation at the garden centre while gathering photos for #PurpleFriday (and buying a plant).

From top picture, clockwise: A Bumblebee, seen head-on, crest's a purple and white bloom with a green background; common Carder Bee with fuzzy back and striped abdomen sits on the yellow centre of a purple Aster bloom; a Buff-tailed bumblebee prepares to land on a purple blue Plumbago; probably another Buff-tailed Bee navigating around a purple bloom.

I might be getting obsessed with #WeeBees and I blame that evil genius Soph @soph0517.bsky.social for my addiction. Went for a walk and what did I see - I saw Bees. Thousands of 'em. Call Bees Anonymous.

A Buff-tailed Bumblebee with yellow and black fuzzy back and sticky black legs, wings folded back, gorges on a white and pink Yarrow flower in a green meadow. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. Yup, another Bee in the meadow. There really were lots and Honey bees in the hedgerows, sipping on Blackberry blooms.

It's a busy week for the pollinators. Today is their day and their week, so I'm giving them extra shout outs. In pride of place are the #WeeBees, of course. Some #BlurBees, naturally. I'm no Soph or Alan.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. News update from my garden as
the #WeeBees are working overtime as the heatwave ends and the rains are set to return. It’s humming out there.
#PurpleFriday #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin #Bees #Bloomscrolling #Nature #Gardening
A Bumblebee gets stuck in to a nice little purple geranium, its wings spread out behind the yellow fuzzy back as it buries itself in to the pollen-filled flower. More goodies await as hairy little buds hang below the open bloom. The background is of the plant’s green serrated leaves. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. A Buff-tailed Bumblebee with yellow and black stripes works its way around a purple Plume Thistle. The clear wings are neatly folded together above the bee’s back as it goes about its task. Background, blurred in macro mode, is green and purple dots. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.
