While taking photos of the various flowers in the veggie garden, I stopped at the bok choi to snap a couple pictures of its flowers even though those are a sign of a harvest missed rather than future harvest. Instead of pulling out the plants and sowing seeds for a new crop of something else, I let them grow hoping that the flowers might attract bees.
Happily that seems to have worked. After I took the first photo, I saw there was a bee working among the bok choi flowers. As it turns out, the bok choi flowers are very similar in appearance to those on the weeds down the hill where I saw the bees previously. I watched this one as it visited a few flowers and took a few more pictures. Before I left, a second bee appeared. Hopefully, they will let their sisters know about the garden and I won’t have to hand pollinate the squash and pumpkins.
