Bumblebee collecting pollen

I watched a bumblebee collecting pollen back in April on a shrub in the city. It was very busy flying from one blossom to the next one and I was a bit surprised by the small size of the blossoms it flew to. But like the bee the bumblebee is an important pollinator for the plants and flowers that grow here. They collect the sweet nectar of the plants and the pollen and fly from one blossom to the other and pollinate the different blossoms with this activity.

Now in my garden I need to use my Macro lens more often to take a good look at the small animals and plants that can be found here. I really have to take a better look to all the small things that I can find here.

The bees and bumblebees are very busy animals that do a lot of work for us. Picture: Florian Glechner.

Nice how such an small animal plays such an important role. Picture: Florian Glechner.
