2012, Day 156 - Bzzzzz

Yay, the bees are back!  Although it was overcast all day today and it rained heavily this evening the bees were busy investigating the lavender this afternoon.  I find watching them as relaxing as watching fish in an aquarium as they systematically move from flower to flower checking for any missed pollen.  One would think that they would have evolved some way to indicate which flowers had already been visited so as to maximize their efforts but the come, one after another, checking and rechecking.  Sometimes their industry makes me feel guilty for my own lack of productivity but today was not one of those days!
