This purple poppy is so clean and tidy.
Then Miss Bizzy Buzzy Bee has come along and is making a mess. Pollen is everywhere. Since there is no miniature vacuum cleaner available, we can only hope for a breeze and maybe a little shower to clean up.

NO! Don’t stop. It’s fun. Just alliterate whenever you feel like it. It adds some pizazz to the posts. (I had to look up pizazz. We almost ended up with pizzas).

I have seen bees virtually rolling in the pollen laden flowers, too lazy to pack their pollen baskets. Sometimes, things are just too easy to resist.

Make pollen while the dust flies. Or gather ye pollen dust while ye may.

I’d never have considered a bee’s work with pollen as messy. Fascinating.

I’m not worried about what they get on themselves; that’s what bees do. But look at all the crumbs on the floor!

I’m afraid I’m a bit biased. You just made me realize that if that had been a yellow jacket I wouldn’t have been so eager to post that photo. Bees make honey; yellow jackets sting me. Have a wonderful day, Jet.
