Cool to see the bees enjoying the plants we have in the yard.


Forget-me-nots, such a common plant, but the bees really really like it.


Lonicera nitida 'Fertilis' also sometimes known as boxleaf honeysuckle. Same family as the regular honey suckle and very very strong sweet smelling. I have this shaped as a little shrub border for a perennial border. 


Lamium galeobdolon "Yellow Archangel" - yes this is an invasive plant - don't plant it unless you can contain in by mowing around it, or have lots of time on your hands to keep it from spreading. Hard to catch the bees on this one as they tuck themselves under each little blossom. I'm torn about this plant now that I know the bees like it. It sure is pretty, but this is the one that's becoming a problem all over for taking over native plants in our parks.
