I’m not sure what will end up being posted here – I’m working to figure out formatting, etc.  I’ve been enjoying walking around taking pictures of forage opportunities for bees and native pollinators.  At some point I’d like to include a grade (not sure which system to use) as to the pollen and/or nectar value of the plant.  These pictures (all by me unless otherwise noted) were taken on our property in Jonesboro, Maine.
