Bumblebee time






The spring is about to come, the official 'Basant' is already there as per the Indian calander. Our garden has started blossoming. It starts with Apricot tree followed by Cherry, Peach, Apple, Pear and Asian Pear in the last. It is the fruit season on the way. All are welcome to come, pick and eat to your fill.




With the immense flowering, I am expecting a bumper crop of Apricots this summer. As the quality of Appricot from the tree is sweet and full of unusual fregrence, we are feeling thrilled for the ensuing crop.



With millions of flowers on a single tree, tens of hundreds of bumblebees are flocking on the flowers. 


The bumblebees feed on nectar and gather pollen to feed their young.


It was difficult to focus the frequent moving bumblebees. I have made an attempt to snap above
