Hard to exaggerate the importance of bees as pollinators. No pollen, no food. Even cattle, chickens and other providers of our daily meat depend on plants for food!
I’ve written quite a lot about bees on this blog, and in particular the threat of neonicotinoid pesticides to which, researchers suggest, bees become addicted (see Bee-ing Bee-Minded), so I am hugely pleased to find so many bees feeding on my untainted raspberry flowers. Nothing like the sound of happy, busy bees and the sight of all those raspberries in the making. Thank you bees.

Many thanks for the re-blog, Judy. We can’t think enough about bees 🙂
