One of every three bites of food we eat comes from a plant that was pollinated by something. Despite their size, pollinators are vital to the success of a healthy ecosystem. flip.it/bsskFc

A honeybee’s vision extends beyond ours into the ultra-violet wavelength. So purple and blue flowers make very attractive beacons for bees (and they see red as black). That’s not the only ocular difference: our eyes each have a single lens, while each honeybee eye has over 6,000!

Hairy-footed flower bees have a thick coat so that they can fly in the colder temperatures of early spring. They also have these amazing feathery legs which give them their name, perfect for picking up pollen! #Springwatch

A beautiful female leafcutter bee stopping at the garden bench for a short rest, on her way back to her nest. Once back at her nest, she lines each individual cell with freshly cut leaves, provisions it with pollen, lays an egg, and seals. She repeats this for each egg she lays🌿
