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.”

Big Bees

One Eastern Redbud tree, about fifty Eastern Carpenter Bees.
They have also been hitting up the apple trees. And in this case, an exotic Trident Maple (Acer buergerianum).
Speaking of exotic. Look at these too long and you go blind.

    Gotta love ’em. Big, bumbling bees. Of course, they’re drilling holes in the side of my wooden cabin, but we must all do our part to save the planet, right?
