Bumblebees Love Oregano

Was delighted to check on the herb garden and see an enormous amount of Bumblebees having a great time on Oregano flowers…and not just one species of Bumblebee but two. Nothing is more fascinating than watching bumblebees in late summer. They are easy to approach, and slowly walk all over each flower.

Having a wide diversity of plants is of great benefit to pollinators….and not always the types of plants or flowers you expect.

Stay curious!

  1. Yes, you are so right. I have oregano growing. It’s almost finished now, but in the summer when it blooms it is covered with all kinds of bees.
