a few hours ago i was starting to work in the north garden and there are some bunching onions in there blooming. they were swarmed by bees. while i was standing there watching there were about eight different kinds of bees including one that i had not seen before. i have to see if i can find it... :)

the majority were honey bees. some very small bees. a mason bee. the strange bee and a few others.

That's great Flowerbug. I have always had bees. The past year I have been incorporating more pollinator plants into my garden. This year I've seen only 1. :( Hope more come in soon.
