This is a dead honeybee. 🐝 The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions. 🌼
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer spread on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for w**ds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve. 😞
