BC Native Bee Course 2019

Tried to take photos with a borrowed Nikon and 100mm macro lens with so-so results. These were from up at Burnell or Sawmill Lake, depending upon which sign you read. It was our second day, and we walked from Lincoln's pond over to the bigger lake, but cattle had eaten nearly everything except the yarrow. i probably loaded multiples of some of the bees. Still learning to tell them apart...
