I’m happy to be seeing a lot of bees this summer going about their business.

MORE BEETLE TALES
This beetle has only faint spots on its dome, I had wondered if it was an immature ladybug or an asian beetle. It has been identified (see comments below) as the later. It was searching for aphids just like its spotted cousins.
BEETLE TALES
We noticed a lot of aphids on the flower stems and so did the larva of this ladybug. It seems that aphids are their meal of choice.
SOFT LANDING
Into a bed of roses.
LADYBUG
There’s something very nice about seeing the first ladybug of the season.
DINING ON DAISIES
I watched as the insect (wasp?) flew between the flowers, its face covered in pollen.
BEES ABOUND
Up until now I have seen very few bees. Then I remembered a patch of wild roses where I had seen a good number of bees last summer. We took a walk there and were not disappointed.
