Busy as a bee!

This morning when the temperature was much warmer than in recent days there were a lot of bees foraging in the school garden. On Mr Galloway's class patch of red poppies there were many bumble bees and honey bees all busy collecting pollen. In the photograph below you can see the pollen sack on the bumble bee absolutely bursting with pollen collected during its' visit to the school garden.

The pollen sack is clearly visible on this photograph- the grey  bulge on the leg
