What kind of pollinators do you have in your garden? – Connie
Where are the honey bees?
That’s my question too, Jan. It seems like I don’t see nearly as many as I used to but most of the bees are on the clover in my lawn right now. I think most of these photos are of Carpenter Bees but I’m not sure of my identification. (They seem to hold still longer for me when I’m taking their picture.) If anyone can ID them for me, I’d appreciate it!
