Fuzzy native bee waking up on fuzzy bloom. Six days to summer solstice, we're heading toward the 90sF. Don't give up on your pollinators, even if you're surrounded by leafblowers like me. Keep restoring and repairing habitat, whether by pot, plot, yard, or more.

Don't give up on native bees in the city.
Today, there were 6 different species from 3 different families in my small spot. Even with high humidity and lousy air quality, the native bees carry on.
Here's a close up of a glittering green Agapostemon visiting yarrow.

Over a dozen native bees tuck in to sleep at sunset in the city.
I think they are Melissodes spp. in cornflowers, Centaurea cyanus.

Junonia grisea, the gray buckeye, visits cornflowers early in the day. Temps are going to be +10F above average. AQI awful. Sound up for birdsong.

Native bee trying to warm up on a Romneya petal. Today, we're almost 10F below average and expecting heat wave in a few days. Bee is possibly a Melissodes.
