Inside the colourful world of animal vision

Want to hear something trippy? Unlike other aspects of an object such as its size or mass, colour is not an inherent property. Perceiving colour is a function of an organismโ€™s sensory system.โ€ฆ

For bees, diet isnโ€™t one-size-fits-all

Most in-depth study of wild bee nutrition finds they need a balanced buffet

I really like goldenrod โ€” its big plumes and bright colors, and the way it sways gently in the breeze. Beezels on teasels are fun, too. ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ

#BikeTooter #wildflowers #bees #bloomscrolling #Colorado

A tall plume of goldenrod covered in tiny, vibrant, yellow flowers at the top of its stem with long, thin, spearlike, green leaves below, blooming among other vegetation, including some green honey locust leaves (I think) and a couple of tall, blooming teasels with pink-purple flowers on the spiny heads. There is a big, yellow and black striped bumblebee browsing on one of the flowering teasels.
A mix of vibrant yellow and green: plumes and plumes of flowering goldenrod next to a bike path on a warm, cloudy, summer afternoon.
Another spot of goldenrod just beginning to bloom, its tiny, vibrant, yellow flowers emerging from the greenery on its stems, with one dried, spiky teasel head poking up in the middle of the goldenrod plumes.

Leafcutter bees are back. They don't mind me near the flowers, but they're camera shy. This one was sweet to gift one photo

A small black and gray bee looks right at camera as it sits on the top of a white yarrow flowerhead. A few yellow pollen grains stick to its antenna. Background is soft blur of garden greens

A few years back I got this photo of a honey bee in flight, returning to her hive.

Had to shoot a few hundred photos just to land this one.

photo of a bee in mid-air, lit slightly from above and behind so it appears to glow, its translucent wings spread and antennae raised. The background is unfocused, smooth gray fading to deep green.

I'm back from a week along Colombia's Caribbean coast! It wasn't a photography trip per se but I did manage a few sessions, and I'll be posting buggy highlights over the next weeks.

Here's a teaser, a little stingless bee pollinating Mexican sunflower:

Deforestation harms biodiversity of the Amazon's perfume-loving orchid bees

A survey of orchid bees in the Brazilian Amazon, carried out in the 1990s, is shedding new light the impact of deforestation on the scent-collecting pollinators, which some view as bellwethers of biodiversity in the neotropics.

You: You haven't spent your Sunday chasing bees round the garden with your camera then drawing on the photos have you?

Me: What?! That sounds like a foolish way to waste an afternoon!

Also me: Yes, yes I have.

#nature #photography #flowers #bees #silly #drawing

A close up photo of a bee sitting on a flower. It's actually upside down, as the bee was dangling, but turning it round made it look like the bee was chomping on the flower head and that made me chuckle. I've drawn om nom nom style teeth on the bee, and beedy eyes, while the flower has a shocked expression and hands and arms raised in alarm.

Please leave the leaves. And make a vow: no more leaf blowers!

#Nature #Bees #Biodiversity

Cutaway drawing of a bumblebee queen hibernating inside a leaf-covered nest. Text says: MOST BUMBLEBEE QUEENS NEST JUST BELOW THE GROUND OR UNDER PILES OF BRUSH IN WINTER. LEAVE THE LEAVES. BAN THE LEAF BLOWER. IN THE SPRING, AVOID RAKING, TILLING AND MOWING UNTIL THE QUEENS EMERGE FROM THEIR WINTER NESTS IN MAY.
