Helleborus argutifolius and bee

Everything is waking up out there.

Awakenings

Bee

This little beauty was crawling about looking a little dazed at finding herself in 2008. So I gave her some honey, and ten minutes later she buzzed off.

Good grief – size matters in Bee World. I went googling to see if the proboscis works by sucking food, or gathering it up like a spoon (it sucks). Along the way, I found that longer tongues had been seen as advantageous, but now this is controversial. Well, well.
