Seeing is Bee-ing
Bee’s vision.
As a Bee Does
We cannot possibly see a flower the way a bee does.
The crocus is a symbol of spring and new beginnings.
Although we cannot see these flowers as a bee does. We can understand the attraction.
Nature, or a creator. They know that each spring the bees need certain color blooms to get the season started.
Somehow these colors always come.
Somehow these flowers always come.
Somehow spring always comes.
Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
Pandas That Buzz
Bees in Ohio.
Those Flying Pandas
There are 45 bumblebees native to North America.
In Ohio we have 12 of those very humble bumbles.
Call them Teddy bears or pandas. The bumblebee is a happy sight after a long winter!

The Fuzz in The Buzz
A bee is a hairy creature.
I Thought Waxing My Lip Was Hairy!
Bumblebees are hairy creatures.
If you looked at them under a microscope. You'd see tons of hairs that fork at the top.
Long and short tongues.
Meaning bumble bees as a group can pollinate in a variety of ways. Many other pollinators are not capable.
Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
My Kind Of Garden
How a bee sees a garden.
A Rainbow Shooting From The Ground
That's my kind of garden!
Poems, paintings and music have been written about the flower garden.
Imagine being a bee in this garden. Did you know that petals change color to a bee?
It's called "iridescence", within the "UV Spectrum".
Bees can see petals just turns colors. Humans cannot!
Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
The Buzz of Pollination
Bumblebee pollination.
Bumblebees are able to do something marvelous.
They contract muscle in flight. This produces strong vibrations.
Directed to their antler, by using their legs and mouth parts.
Producing a buzz worthy spread of pollen, via their antlers.
Until Tomorrow! Smile On!

Do You See What Bees See?
Nope, we don't see ultraviolet, but a bee can!
Humans base their color combo on red, blue and green.
Bees base their colors on ultraviolet light, blue and green.
Bees cannot see the color red!
They do see reddish wavelengths. Like orange and yellow!
