Today we had a guided tour of my Mum's garden and all the beautiful spring flowers now coming into bloom.
There were daffodils, jonquils, birds-of-paradise, plum blossom and a host of others she described that I could not hope to remember.
A closer look at this busy, busy bee reveals hind legs laden with pollen as it makes its rounds.
