I made 4 more in my series of related prints about leafcutter bees, each unique. Similar to the print in the pollinator garden, but the prints in my shop are on lovely Japanese washi paper & feature different plants. These prints are both about, & a sort of collaboration with leaf cutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important …

Hey #Mastodon #insects #bees
What is this bee I just snapped in my garden and what is it doing?
I guessed it's a #leafcutterbee carrying a geranium petal. Am I close?

For #PollinatorWeek my ‘Redbud and the Bees’ #multimedia piece (#linocut #woodcut #printmaking #collage) explores how #redbud trees, are increasingly common in Toronto due to their popularity with gardeners and a warming climate. They are popular with our native #bees but this includes the Eastern carpenter bee (whose range is also expanding with climate change) …

Bee Domestic.
A series.
She resists but eventually gives in. After all they’re in this together. Only for a very very short while. But still.
He gets that smile. Bingo! Sorted.
Back to the entrance. Now where was I? Little bit of a groom. Get comfy. Back to the zzzzz’s.
We’re not that different are we?
Fin.

Bee Domestic.

Tentatively he approaches her. Dripping apologies and excuses. All the charm he can muster given his state.
‘Love ya babes. The lads made me stay out. Did you do something with your hair? I’ll put those shelves up. Sorry. Babes. Sorry. Life’s too short…’ (it genuinely is).

Bee Domestic.
A series.
She’s having none of it and heads inside pushing by him. He knows he’s in the wrong and backs down - slinks off to the shed, head wrecked, still scrambling to compose himself. Meanwhile she sets about the dishes he didn’t do (all bangs and mutters). He ventures back in.

Bee Domestic.
A series.
Herself arrives back, busy busy, having been out foraging since early. Finds him asleep and it’s almost lunchtime. Miffed. Wakes him. He gets a fright (and knows he’s in strife) and reacts all shouty and loud. She gets louder and rips him a new one.

Bee domestic.
A series.
Sunday morning. Late July.
Himself, a male solitary leafcutter bee, snoozes by the nest entrance. Warm summer breeze on his face. Hit the nectar a bit hard the night before and a bit worse for wear. Content in his slumber having hazy dreams of flowers.
