Quote of the Day: M.K. Ash

December 5th, 2010

“Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly,
but the bumble bee doesn’t know it, so it goes on flying”

~ M.K. Ash



I always love it when I download my photos and I’ve caught a bumble in mid-flight. They are truly amazing when you watch them buzz around the garden, I think they’re my favorite pollinator to see. I’m glad I have so many of them! We certainly could all learn something from the bumble bee I think.

What’s your favorite pollinator?

    Wonderful photos for a cold wintry day…….I love my honeybees……The bumble I appreciate…….but it is a bit more aggressive than I care for…….

    I just love the Bumbles too! They are so cute-I could watch them for hours going about their business………….

    I also adore bees. For all their usefulness and graphic cuteness… but also because if I imagine a dreamy height-of-summer moment in the garden, the sound backdrop is always a happy hummmmm of bees. Ahh.
