Sorry to butt in on a private conversation but I wanted to comment that in
more than a quarter of a century of beekeeping I never saw any kind of bee
in an iris - which is what it looks like to me. I know more about bee than
plants :-)

Well done for catching it!

amongst avid gardeners (and beeks!) )

the picture was taken last week during a warm spell, it's a local honey
bee and it's an iris reticulata..............I capture images of bees
and bumblies and assorted fliers all the time! (with a little digital
camera, no less!!

It was so warm this morning (Yorkshire, England) that I contemplated having
lunch by the pond. Got everything ready in the kitchen and Spouse, wanting
to help, took everything into the dining room.

Ah well, it wouldn't have been a record, we have eaten outside on 1 March
before.

Still haven't seen any honeybees though even though the heather is blooming
its heart out at the side of the pond.
