Reyweld, Flower Man

This might be my favourite Reyweld thread so far

Have you seen many pollinators? Everyone's all about the bees but I'm fond of the flies and waspy things and other critters who help spread the plant love.

A lot of huge fat bumblebees fly around my house, but there are also so many ants, yellow jackets (wasps), and White Wasps that are an invasive species and really scary! I'm not sure if the white wasps pollenate, but they have really strong stingers and bite!

A cute bumblebee story is that I was sitting on my front porch while it was raining (I like the smell and sound, very soothing and a more natural white noise for singing in and contemplating life), a bumblebee flew in from the rain and crash landed on my jeans. Then it pulled itself up, rubbed itself on my jeans, and watched the rain with me for 5 more minutes before flying back into it.

Events like that make me feel so connected with everything, I can't really describe it well but it was like spiritual.

Also, we get these little microbees that visit the tiny millimeter flowers like the valley somethings and the forget-me-not, and they come in a rainbow of shiny colours.

We set up bee houses for solo bees to lay their eggs in using old dried plant stalks and store-bought bee houses. I like bees (but not wasps!).
