Pollinator Week

It's the end of National Pollinator Week! Upon reflection, I've become a lot more aware of the variety of pollinators recently, almost certainly because of entomologists on Twitter. It's not just the honeybees and bumblebees.

This year, I planned my balcony garden for pollen and nectar lovers. So far, I've only seen a couple hummingbirds and two kinds of bees. But there's a lovely orb weaver. I hope it's eating something other than tiny bees!

What gorgeous pictures! The color of the bee and the zinnia, and the action of the bee and the coleus! Thanks for posting these.
