Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our wonderful and talented Wendy is hosting with the theme of bees.
Bees and other pollinators are so important to our world, without them we would have no food and no more life. I made my tag using one of my photos of bees on a sunflower, and added extra bees which were digitally cut from a photo:
And some of my photos showing bees and other pollinators at work:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I'm excited for this challenge! And I really like your tag with that big sunflower Valerie. Bees are amazing creatures and we couldn't live without them, could we? Have a great Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, so glad you like it! It's a great theme!
DeleteBEAUTIFUL I love bees and even though it's our autumn we had a few bees around my flowers yesterday, lovely buzzing noise. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, glad you still have lots of happy bees!
DeleteNice work on a wonderful new theme and great bee shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, bee happy!
DeleteThis is beautiful Valerie, bees are so important aren't they. There is something about the hum of the bees that takes my blood presure right down. Take care and have a very happy week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. Bees are so important for us! Have a great week!
DeleteYou got me at bees! Love bees and do my best for my garden to be as bee friendly as it can be! Hugs, Deb {Deborah is Hebrew for bee, did you know?}
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. My niece is also called Deborah, so I know about the name. Being a bee is good! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteGreat theme, love your tag and photos. Hope you are doing well. Hugs Anesha
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha! Have a great week!

DeleteNot only is your tag beautiful, Valerie, it carries a very important message. Bees (and other pollinating insects) are critical to the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem, and without their vital role, the whole structure collapses. We mess with these creatures at our peril, yet we continue to decimate their numbers, and invent new insecticides to kill them, and new herbicides to kill the plants on which they feed. Humans are really quite mad. We inhabit a beautiful world, yet we systematically go about destroying it every day. Trash is everywhere, the oceans are dying, the forests are burning and the bees are vanishing. Soon we will vanish too. In the face of such gloom we still seem unwilling to change our ways. What is the legacy we are leaving to Lily? Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteYes, David, people are crazy. It's like digging a big hole under your own feet. It's a wonder that we can all still exist, let's see how long. I'm glad Wendy chose this tag theme, as it is so vital to our existence. I came home from the doctor's today in a raging snowstorm, now the sun is shining....I hope litte Lily and all others of her age can grow up to love and protect nature, and I know you are all doing your best to school her in the right way!
DeleteYour sunflower tag is so pretty as are the photos of the flowers with the busy bees.
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, have a wonderful day!
DeleteTerrific tags and pictures of our flying friends ~ I may have to join in again for this challenge :) Enjoy your week ~
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, would love to See you joining us! Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening,
Alison xx
Thanks Alison. Look after your bees in your lovely garden!
Deleteso lovely photos:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, have a great week!
Deletehave a good day too:)
DeleteThanks!
DeleteI love all the bees on that beautiful sunflower. What a great tag. Your tag even feels sunny, something I haven't seen all day. And your photos of pollinators are wonderful, too. I broke down and had Scott buy me some coneflower seeds, since mine didn't come back last year. Now I just have to wait till the ground is soft enough to plant them. You showed some beautiful ones is why I thought of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! I'm glad you got Scott to buy the seeds, they are beautiful flowers. Have a great day!
DeleteLovely tag and photos. I've been painting a bee this week for a different challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin, I'm looking forward to seeing your bee!
DeleteA fabulous Tag, and love all the photo's of flowers with the visiting bees. Hope you are keeping well, hugs Wendy
ReplyDeleteThat Wendy! Have a great week!
DeleteYour photos are fabulous. I love seeing bees as long as I see them before I accidentally disturb them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I know what you mean!

DeleteFabulous tag and brilliant pics Valerie! I have seen this and have no idea why I didn't comment, or maybe I did and didn't give our cranky internet chance to catch up! Hey Ho! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. My Internet, or perhaps my Laptop ist also problematic. Let's hope things get better!
DeleteThe Husband is on vacation, and even though we're not going anywhere or doing anything special I'm still somehow way behind on visiting blogs.
ReplyDeleteI love these pollinator flowers. I don't have much sun but do what I can. It's an important issue to highlight :)
Super Tag..absolutely gorgeous flowers and the real bees, stunning photos.
ReplyDeleteHope you are recovering well..x
