Description from Maggies Mom: Yesterday I noticed a lilac bush and a wisteria vine in my side yard (where did they come from???), which were both buzzing with bees. They fascinate me, and it made me smile to know they were loading up on pollen or nectar, or whatever it is they like! We need the bees.

Kathryn R says:I love this pick! Saw my first bumbler the other day. My hubby and I are putting up a native bee house for the beneficial non-stinging bees. Your pick has wonderful components for a bee-theme necklace or…whatever!

Maggies Mom says:Thanks so much! In a previous house, I used to sit outside by my two Autumn Sedum Joy plants and just watch the different kinds of bees on it; they loved it! Butterflies, spiders, and other insects would all alight on it together, it was fascinating to watch. Got some great close-ups, too. In our retirement yard, I’m planning to plant several more.
