The synchronization between bees and honey-producing dandelions is essential for pollination and biodiversity. Dandelions, in particular, play a crucial role by providing pollen and nectar, which are essential food resources for bees. The No Mow May initiative, launched by beekeepers, encourages delaying the mowing of lawns to allow pollinators to benefit from the resources of dandelions and other spring flowers. This practice helps maintain the health of pollinators and improves biodiversity. look at all these pollen particles literally stuck on the bee's body. exposure data: 1/1000 sec f/16 ISO 800 Tokina 100mm macro-lens photo taken on:: 2026-05-20
