Cosmos, Corbiculae and Common
Cosmos - an annual flower much loved by #bees
Corbiculae - the pollen baskets on the rear legs of some bees used to carry pollen back to the nest.
Common - as in the most ‘Irish’ of #bumblebees, the ginger haired Common Carder.

Apis, Apple and Arse.
Apis - the latin for bee.
Apple - the fruit that means #bees buzzed about Adam and Eve (if that’s what you believe!). Pollinated by bees.
Arse - as in this amazing Red Arsed #Bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) now found foraging above the Arctic circle!
