Corvid with a new batch of bees in orientation flight.
Coming in for a landing:
Pollen-laden
The bees have been loving this Arugula that over-winterd in a cold frame and burst into bloom some weeks ago. In the background is L'Atelier, the art studio, and where Mathieu makes guitars, overseen by two of my hives: Stella and Ariadne. To the right is a Fig in a pot that gets brought in over winter, and a Grape on trellis. THIS has my Heart. <3
The Mason bees have been very active; I love watching them, so docile and yet judicious.
At work: Mathieu and I with the fragrant native Woodland Phlox at a landscape client's.
And Luck of Luck! Found some tasty dinner when I wasn't even purposefully hunting! My friend Abby and I were just taking a jaunt in the woods...and lo and behold.
Then we lay in the grass in the sun for a different type of nourishment.
Make a wish!

Arugula flowers, one of my faves, yum!
