The pansies are still blooming. I figured they'd be done once it warmed up, and then maybe when it got really hot, but they persist.

There's a big bumblebee on this one that sorta blends in.

Krause Disteln sind voll lecker! Behauptet diese Biene hier. #bloomscrolling #bloomscrollingwithbee

The bees love the bee balm, Monarda fistulosa.

A honey bee on the scarlet runner bean flowers the other day.

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.

The bee balm was busy with pollinators today, here's Bombus huntii.

Ein #Garten ist ein Geschenk.
Wir versuchen, ihn zu einer Oase für alle zu machen.
Und bekommen im Gegenzug Augenblicke mit #Frieden im Kleinen. Nur atmen. Beobachten. Sein.
Klar, wir können auf 160qm nicht die Welt retten.
Aber wir haben ein kleines Stück heile Welt geschaffen. Für die, die herfinden machen wir einen Unterschied.
Und das heilt unsere Seele.
Wohnt ihr auch mit Hummel, Igel, Libellen und Co?
