While out in my garden this morning I spotted this large bumble bee hard at work on my crocuses. He was absolutely covered in pollen

That color is beautiful and I understand why the bee is covered in pollin as I would love to do that myself.

I agree with Glendann, I'd love to dive into those crocus and just enjoy them.

Something to look forward to, but we'll have a few more months to wait. Enjoy all the buzz in your back yard!

The crocus and bee look plentiful......
What an awesome sight to behold.. Better check the flowers more often, we like photos.
LOL

The photo is beautiful just beautiful.
We have bees around too but they don't sit still long enough for me to get a good picture.
