A Field Day for the Bees – Cornflower & Thistle in Bloom

A few days ago, while hiking with my wife, we stumbled upon a sea of cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) and thistles in full bloom — a buzzing paradise for bees. I grabbed my Canon 7D Mark II with the Sigma 100–400mm lens and captured three moments from this joyful dance of wings and petals.

Cornflowers and thistles are more than just wild beauty. They are nectar-rich species that play a crucial role in supporting pollinators like honeybees, bumblebees, and solitary bees. In an age where pollinator populations are under pressure due to habitat loss and pesticide use, seeing this thriving patch felt like a hopeful sign — a reminder of how small pieces of land can become sanctuaries.

The buzzing was almost musical, a chorus of life continuing its quiet work. It’s easy to overlook how vital these tiny creatures are. Without pollinators, most flowering plants — including many of our food crops — would struggle to reproduce.

Small flowers. Small insects. Huge impact.

For #WorldBeeDay, here is a #mosaic from the #Manchester #UK city hall. The city of Manchester chose bees as its symbol back in 1842, and they have bee symbols all around the city. They also have a variety of sports teams, all called the #ManchesterBees. Links with information about these mosaics and the city are in the comments.

Africa: What the Bees Are Telling Africa #WorldBeeDay: [allAfrica] Accra -- Bees are speaking to us -- not with sound, but through their presence, their absence, and their steady disappearance. Alongside butterflies, bats, beetles, some mammals, and birds, these tireless workers sustain the crops and wild plants that feed us, protect biodiversity, and keep our agrifood systems resilient.

@The_Caretaker @ai6yr @teleclimber If I'm remembering correctly, a well-maintained cover doesn't have much room - there's a kind of hoop/ loop inside that you hook with the tool, and it blocks a fair amount (but not enough to keep out bees, maybe) of the opening. What makes this design so difficult is that it's on the ground, so it has to be flat; the material has to be sturdy enough to stand up to foot and wheeled traffic, but light enough to break with a crowbar if needed; and it has to be simple enough to open for utility workers to learn it and for civilians to be able to figure it out. This seems like a really worthy design project. Anyone know a high school science or civics teacher? #scienceProject #civicsProject #utilityCover #saveTheBees
