Saw some honey bees on the rhubarb, maybe 2 or 3. I'll probably give it a few days and cut them off when they start making seeds.

I'm seeing some honey bees on the hyacinths today. Not sure this is one of my bees, it looks a little different to what I see at the hives. One I saw yesterday getting goose water looked similar and behaved a little hotter than my bees. Lots of movement, maybe bee hand waving. 👋 Maybe Italians? 🤔

The source of the orange pollen. Later I saw a small native pollinator on on a dandelion but it flew off before it could be identified. As I was standing there a bee buzzed by and I looked in the direction it was going thinking it was just a honey bee going to the hives but even from 15 feet away I could recognize the Ashy Digger bee speeding away with determination.
