This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her, which was on the dandelions. 🐝
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees' first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers, and fruit trees are bees' only source of food until the middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us, and we all starve.
