Pollinator Week continues ...

It rained about a half an inch yesterday ... currently blooming - common milkweed, bee balm, coneflowers, nodding thistle, sunflowers, butterfly weed (past full bloom and putting on pods) and our zinnias.  On the blooming horizon ... ironweed and pokeweed.  Our bee pastures have been bushhogged high over the dutch/new zealand white clover and the clover is still in full bloom.

There are an abundance of bumblebees, our honey bees (preference butterfly weed) and many small bees, beetles and spiders.  The next flight of swallowtails are yet to arrive at our pollinator gardens.
