🪻🌿 🐝 🌱 ✨ // campanula & green metallic sweat bees // gouache on hot press paper // part of my native pollinators series

Tiny sweat bees are underlooked native pollinators. These solitary little guys nest in the ground and pollinate an incredibly wide array of native wildflowers and food crops, including squashes, melons, blueberries, and cranberries. They also love the bright purple bells of wild campanula!

*casually posts this at the same time to further my agenda of growing native plants instead of grass and shitty ornamentals*

I know a lot of people are into the idea of replacing their lawn with natives but I don’t see much information on where to start with native plants, so I wanted to share the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center native plant database, specially the recommended species page. It includes the US and Canada, and you can select your state or province. And it gives a list of native species they recommend for their environmental impact. You can also narrow the search on the type of plant, sun exposure, height, bloom time, all sorts of stuff! Also if you live in Texas they have a ton of specific information about different eco regions there because that’s where they are located.

I saw the monarch on this milkweed next to my apartment while I was walking by, but then as I was taking photos of the monarch this bee came up to hang out as well! 🐝

I don't know what kind of shrub this is but there were legions of bees in it this afternoon! Multiple kinds, too - there were honeybees, carpenter bees, and whatever kind of bee this busy little lady was. Look at how full her pollen baskets are!
