The Wool Carder Bee

Last Sunday we had beautiful weather.

As you know from my posts, that day we released a female monarch butterfly a few days after she emerged from her chrysalis.

There were so many different butterflies in the garden - another monarch butterfly, gulf fritillaries, umber skippers, cabbage moths, and an American lady butterfly.

There also were many bees.

For example, this Wool Carder male bee on lavender blossoms.

The air literally was abuzz with activity.

Those are my favorite kind of days.
