Spring Bulb Pageant

We had a wander around the gardens at Doddington today which currently has a Spring Bulb Pageant. This Bumble Bee was covered in pollen as it was doing the rounds of the crocuses.

He was laden in pollen wasn’t he.

How lovely to see bees. There have been no bees in our area since varroa mite was discovered in Newcastle in 2022 and all the bees were destroyed.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

With a new dusting of snow today, it seems like forever before we see crocus and bees! Good shot.

[Renee Salamon]
