I noticed a number of bumble bees collecting pollen from dandelion blossoms at the marsh today. Apparently bumble bees are the first bees to be seen in the spring, and the last to be seen in the fall. Only the queens survive the winter, hibernating in the soil. So this bee likely won't be around much longer. (The dandelion blooms are in the trail borders which were mowed not long ago.)
