Fuzzy little punks!

Three days the flowers were blooming and no insects came even though they were swarming the blueberries.

I spent over an hour hand-pollinating this bush this morning and now 3 different species of bees are visiting the flowers.

WERE THEY WATCHING ME???

Habropoda laboriosa, blueberry digger bee
Osmia taurus, tuarus mason bee
Apis mellifera, western honey bee
