Honey Bee covered in Pollen

Sometimes, the Honey Bees in my organic garden become so covered in pollen that they have to sit somewhere still and clean themselves up or reorganise their loads of pollen. This little Honey Bee was having a rest after being busy in the Jap Pumpkins. The Native Honey Bees also visit the Jap Pumpkins, as do many other insects – small flies, butterflies, moths, ants, beetles, grasshoppers, native cockroaches – even wasps. Organic Gardens are a wonderland of magic. Insects and animals all working together in the garden – like little helpers!

Introduced, naturalised Honey Bees and Native Black Honey Bees in Organic Garden Upper Burringbar, NE NSW, Mt Warning Caldera Region, Australia

Kremen Lab Group : “In California, our recent findings show that a diverse community of native bee pollinators can provide sufficient pollination services for crops without the addition of managed colonies of honey bees (Kremen et al. 2002), but that this service critically depends on the availability of natural habitat in proximity to the farm site (Kremen et al. 2004). Farm management (organic versus conventional) may also influence the diversity and abundance of native bees found on farms.” taken from Current Projects at Dr. Kremen’s (University of California, Berkeley, USA) research website
