Gina<p>Silver Bush Lupine (Lupinus albifrons) signals pollinators with a color shift: the white banner spot turns purple as the flower ages—faster after pollination—guiding insects to fresher blooms while still drawing them in from afar.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildflowers</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>california</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Just an example of an insect hotel you should never, ever buy. The jagged ends of the reeds can damage the wings of mason bees as they try to back out. Splinters might even trap them inside. Manufactured by Dobar (Gronau, Germany) and sold by Lidl. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/lidl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lidl</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>In bee news, male Osmia are showing up at the insect hotel in my back yard (Swarthmore, PA, USA). The females never choose to use these tunnels, sadly, opting instead for the smaller, paper-lined cavities in the wood blocks. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BeeHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeeHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MasonBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MasonBees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a></p>
LionelB<p>It is that time. Not the abomination of a double flowered cherry.

RHD<p>The queen bumblebee is back, availing herself of the dwarf cherry blossom. I didn’t realise they had such a long proboscis, hence my doubt over what it was previously.
