Bees Pollinate Byrne Creek Blackberries
Bees were out in force sucking blackberry blossoms near Burnaby's Byrne Creek today. I was happy to see them working away as I've been reading horror stories of how bees are disappearing and nobody knows why. They are incredibly important insects because so many crops depend on them for pollination.
One in flight and one on a blossom.
Another view.
Getting even closer.
A spit bug deposit. Dunno if that's the proper term :-)...
