Please the Bees

Editor's Note: Tragically, native North American honeybees are greatly reduced due to modern environmental stresses. The bumblebee is a major replacement in terms of providing pollination services in the wild and in cultivation. Bee gentle with them. (Sorry.) This one was working on a cherry tomato blossom last Sunday. By now, the blossom is already changing to a tomato fruit, thanks in part to the bee.

Bumblebees are everywhere over on our farm - poor Georgia - there was one on her cloth diaper - must have leanded there last night and stayed on through the trip inside!
