The lack of bees in my garden was starting to worry me a bit, what with all the stories aout colony collapse around the country. Normally there are many flitting about the flowers, and more in the section of the garden where I ripped up the grass and planted white clover. So far this year, however, I have seen one big fat "bumblebee," cruising around, not a one of the regular workhorse pollinators.
Until this morning. As I was sitting on the porch, trying to be very still so the cardinals feeding their babies about five feet from my head wouldn't be disturbed, I saw the bee. Bopping from one fluffy clover blossom to the next, bending their stems and making them flop. I'm hopeful that this bee will be back with friends.
