52 Week Blessing Challenge – Week 18 - Bees

I know this doesn’t seem like a blessing…. especially for those who are allergic to bees. I’ve never been afraid of bees although I’ve been stung a few times. But I just love to photograph bees, and that that makes bees a blessing to me!

There are different kinds of bees. Bumble bees are the big fuzzy kind. I see them occasionally around my yard. However I see a lot of honey bees on my flowers.

When I want to photograph them

I can always find at least one bee jumping from bloom to bloom.

These guys are on my mint plants.

The bees are also in my garden,

gathering nectar and pollinating plants.

Much of it wouldn’t grow if bees weren’t around. But look how good it’s doing…. This watermelon is now larger than a golf ball!

And now for a surprise…. Look who else I found while taking pictures in the yard!

This frog was on my avocado tree.

And a dragonfly sunned himself on the mint.

What makes you feel blessed today?

Thanks for listening ~
