@Erinmfs That sounds like an enjoyable thing to do, to have a purpose in your walking! The problem for me is that I am allergic to bee stings, and do my best to stay away from those industrious critters!

oh no! I guess I don't consider myself allergic to bee stings, but I haven't been stung. I have enjoyed getting out for a walk in the flowers and searching for bee photo opportunities, the weather has been nice recently.

When I gave the photo to the DNR, I thought I had found the endangered species rusty patch bee, I was so excited about the photo and the brown patch on the bee. But the DNR and experts came back and told me that the bee in that photo is really a brown-belted bumblebee which is common they said. They loved the photograph and encouraged me to continue my 'bee adventures' they said :-). One of the DNR members provided this link for bee identification. The DNR is taking this conseration effort quite seriously.
