The bee looks happy just beeing. Once I met a woman who was in the process of legally changing her name after getting out of an abusive relationship. She introduced herself by her new first name — Bee. Then she went on to explain that her new surname was Eng. Because at last she was Bee Eng… being. (I don’t remember how she was spelling either name, because it was decades ago. Although the spirit of it remains.) Hugs.
That is a beautiful daylily, and bee. The hollyhock is a beautiful shade of pink. Mostly the yellow ones seem to survive up here and continue to self seed. I started out with maroons, whites and yellows.
Great colour of the hollyhock, dear Timothy.
Our village is famous for its hollyhocks, but rarely this colour.
Thanks and cheers

I believe those hollyhocks are supposed to be black, but between our intense sunshine and alkaline soil, they come out pink. It’s almost impossible to grow black flowers out here.
Ugh, unfortunately, not a bee fan. Those things do me up wrong every time I get close to them and end up having a bad reaction. These bees are less aggressive than the ground hornets I am always at war against out in our woods, but these littler ones still leave their calling cards when they strike. Always dread the first mowing of the trails each year as I know the hornets are there.. just not where until the brush mower sends them into a fit of rage.

Cool video of the buzzing bee! 🙂
Thanks, Barbara.
Wonderful collection of skies, bees, flowers, and spunk art.
Thanks, Brad.
Your bee video is A+ 🐝 A lovely day to you!
Thanks, Michele.
We’ve had lots of pollinators this year.
That’s great. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.

Love that story. She knew how to bee. Thanks, Teagan.
I like the buzz about this.
Hahahaha! You are clever. Thanks, Shey.
Bees will be bees… in our meals at the moment. Beautiful pictures, Tim!💓💓

Clouds, mountains and river always a favorite.
We only have pink hollyhocks. I don’t know if we’ve had other colors. Thanks Lavinia.
Is that Rebecca’s bamboo in the bottom pic?
Loving the bee’n’bloom vid, and the hollyhocks are stunning. Thanks Tim!
No. Those are some weird sunflowers the neighbor gave us. Rebecca’s Black Bambo is massive compared to the weird sunflowers. Thanks, Resa.
