Skylar received an insect viewing kit for Easter and caught a honeybee drinking water and observed it for a few minutes before letting it free. The honeybees in our yard are abundant this season, as well as mason bees, and a bumble bees. The honeybee didn't like being captive, so we let it go quickly as not to stress it out more. She was happy to be free and even landed on the lavender before taking flight once more and heading back to her hive. We always have so many pollinators each spring and this year we plan to have milkweed growing in a pot to attract monarch butterflies.
