A VERY hot wander around #ParcSlip #Nature reserve today, plenty of #Insects to photograph, so here's a few... A #FourSpottedChaser #Dragonfly, A #Tapered #DroneFly, A #CommonCarder #Bee and an #Azure #DamselFly

Mornin’.

It’s those movements of a flower that we love to see here on The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland.
The flower twitch - which means there’s a bee busy.
The flower bow - which means it’s a big ‘un.
And finally the #flower bounce which means a successful launch!

Have the best one you can.
Go gentle.

We need #bees #insects #birds #animals.
We need to realise this.
Fast.

With her ginger hair the Common Carder bumblebee is one of the easiest bumblebees to identify.
Carders are one of the ‘long-tongued bees' that feed on flowers with long tubular florets. They love Bush Vetch so grow it/allow it to thrive in your patch.
