It’s been under twelve hours since I last posted, so hopefully you’re not sick of me!
Today has been all about catching pollinating bees in the act. Three separate teams made the rounds catching bees pollinating Echinacea. Once we caught those busy little bees, we brought them back to the fridge to cool down (so they wouldn’t sting us!) and then we worked at collecting the pollen from their legs and body.
I’ll leave you with a little limerick about bees.
In a meadow, I chased buzzing bees,
With my cup, oh, the thrill it did tease.
But those critters so sly,
Dodged and soared through the sky,
And I was left with just grass on my knees.
