Our backyard hollyhocks were humming with activity this sunny August afternoon! There must be a hive within 3 miles of our place – maybe from the Nature Centre, just down the river. Someone did the waggle dance about our place!
Honeybee!

I saw my very first bee of the season, only yesterday. I’ve been wondering where the bees are. Glad to see they are visiting you. (I do have lots of wasps, however.)
