What a beautiful post, Vanessa! I read recently about the beauty and importance of "taking care of small worlds" (Asia Suler's work, if memory serves). This post resonates so nicely with that message - the importance of caring for insects that we consider "pests" or "scary." I've recently started transplanting the milkweed that gets mowed (for no good reason) on our country ditches and planting wildflowers in my yard. Little things, but I like to think that our fellow beings appreciate our efforts. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

I deeply love sleeping bumblebees tucked into flowers. Thank you for sharing more about their beautiful journeys! I learned so much about furry Bumblebee magic.

I adore sleeping bumblebees, too 🐝 I'm so happy to know the piece resonated and that you learned more about these amazing creatures. It's so important to celebrate and support our adorable, fuzzy bumblebees. In doing so, we create more wild beauty. 🌻
