If you zoom in, you can see one of the several bees that were enjoying lunch (right before it started pouring down)

So happy we planted the lavender that "would never survive there".

My first bee!! (That I’ve witnessed)

It’s hugely satisfying to finally see pollinators using this little pit stop I planted over 2 months ago! 🐝

This hill was overtaken by blackberry brambles when we bought the place. Part of reclaiming it for our fruit orchard is seed bombs of nitrogen-fixing legumes. Bonus: the love it.

Down a rabbit hole base on a link provided by @alexwild, I found this paper. This is wild (pun intended). "Urban gardens promote bee foraging over natural habitats and plantations"

I've been volunteering with a local nonprofit working to preserve the wild spaces in our semi-rural community. They work very hard to bar human activity on their lands. It's pretty interesting to see examples where human activity promotes conservation better than nature.

Yes domesticated consume similar resources as , but this is weird framing. Our pesticide-soaked concrete-covered urban landscape with cut grass patches only big enough to accommodate pet waste is a bigger threat than competition from European . If nothing else, bee husbandry encourages education and active management of resources, over apathy & ignorance.

update: Things are looking pretty good! Our front lawn is speckled in hundreds of these tiny, vibrant yellow and purple flowers. While they aren’t native, the sure enjoy them.

Note the chicken wire… I put it down once I caught the squirrels digging up the freshly planted corms. They aren’t even supposed to like crocus! 😐

After two failed seasons, I decided it was time to stop wasting money and get serious. This Beginner Course was an intense 10 hours, but I filled a notebook with all of the things I was doing wrong.

For those of you who don’t know, we had a really wet spring that prevented the bees from flying. Estimates from the local bee club were that we lost half of the cherry crop up here, thus limiting supply.
