Bees are fascinating little creatures. They are no doubt among the happiest creatures that spring has finally sprung.

Here’s a bee gathering pollen from a daffodil. Notice the little yellow sacs on its legs where it collects the pollen.

Here’s more of a close-up which shows the sacs a little better. The pollen is the protein that makes the hive hum.

There’s also busy on the first flowering tree, this plum.
