Busy Bees in our Garden
The Leaf Cutter Bees have made their home in our Garden. They are a protected species and have been used to pollinate farm crops where Bee numbers are dwindling. Without Bees we could not survive. We feel privileged that they are sharing our home.
Photographing them wasn't easy, they move very quickly, they dart around, they fly in a straight line and make 90 degree turns very quickly. I've tried to capture them carrying their leaves into their nest but as yet haven't managed this. But it is a wonderful sight so I will keep trying.
I am concerned about our planet and our environment; having the Leaf Cutter Bees in our garden makes me feel that I am helping protect them, and contributing in a very small way to the welfare of our planet. But every little helps and all of us can make a difference.
