| Bumble Bee on the Tomato |
We've been having lunch out on the patio recently, which gives us a great view of the tomato bed. The tomatoes are growing a rapid clip; one of them appears to have doubled in size in just a few days. It looks like it might be one of the Carbons, but I don't know for sure which plant is which.
We also get a great view of the big black and yellow Bumble Bee who's been busy working the tomato vines the past few days.

| Load That Pollen! |
This bee has been back numerous times and it's fun to watch it pack the pollen onto the carrying pods on its back legs. It's amazing how much pollen each bee can collect and carry.
We're very happy to have the bees help with the pollination; Cindy had gone out a few days before to shake the tomato cages to pollinate the plants, but we'll let the bees do it from now on.
