Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

World Bee Day

One of our smaller bees…
Rufous-backed Cellophane Bees making more Rufous-backed Cellophane Bees.
Somebody’s in the garlic mustard.
More somebodies…

I don’t really know what World Bee Day is, but everyday is good for celebrating bees. Beeware, however, of green-washing corporate sponsors and bee-washing honey bee industrialists bearing gifts.
