A note from the artist
I have a special appreciation for these fuzzy little wonders, their peaceful, slow dance from flower to flower sets a relaxed mood for summer days. They are extremely effective pollinators, far more than the non-native honeybees, due to their ability to vibrate their bodies quickly to release pollen. It is called buzz pollination! Some really important crops, like tomatoes and blueberries, can only be pollinated this way. So, if you love pizza and blueberry smoothies, save the bees by support organic and regenerative farmers! 💚
