What’s better than 1 label brought to life? How about 3! Three separate beers form a surfers paradise when lined up side by side. This might be my largest label ever animated. Kudos to artist @sisc_daily for the beautiful illustration. • Beers pictured 🍺📸-> Three Amigos ❤️ Dusk Patrol ❤️ Universal Love • Not sponsored but according to Coronado Brewing’s post, you can pickup all three artist series 4-packs at any CBC location and receive the special edition art print from artist @sisc_daily #sdbeer #staycoastal • • #Beerlabelsinmotion #blim #instabeer #brewstagram #craftbeer #beerlabel #beergeek #ilovebeer #aftereffects #coronadobrewing #buglove https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9gogsnRiR/?utm_medium=tumblr

The little garden residents also think of youngsters.

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And reverie.

It goes without saying that bees and flowers have a complicated relationship. They need each other, and sometimes they really need each other. Some bees have an easier time drinking nectar from certain flowers and not others. Some flowers can only be pollinated by certain bees.

I think we all kind of know this to an extent, even if we don’t know the gory details.

And all around the web there can be found lists of flowers to add to the garden in an effort to save the bees.

But flowers and wasps have equally complicated relationship as well. Some flowers can only be pollinated by wasps, and some wasps like bees favour certain flowers over others. And I want to raise awareness about the ecological importance of wasps, I will be making a wasp loving flower list, for the U.S.

It will be pretty broad, but, I will try to separate it by region to the the best of my ability, so it’s as straightforward as possible, because the truth is, we need our wasps too. They perform a vital service to our gardens and farms, by keeping harmful pests at bay, and it’s in our best interest to provide them food sources.

Obviously if allergies, and small children are a concern, then I would say you shouldn’t be planting wasp attracting flowers near your house, but at the far end of the lot, away from regular traffic, it might be a possibility?

Again if no one’s deathly allergic, I think that seems fair. Not all wasps are inherently aggressive, but when there’s a flower host spot for wasps, you’ll occasionally get a few less cordial visitors.

(Safety is paramount, and just because I’m crazy enough to get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures does not mean others should.)

Now some of these plants are good for bees and butterflies too, but not all of them. I will be updating this list as I get to it. Some plants get pollinator overlap. Some don’t.

But I think this’ll be fun.

Some days I like to sit and “inventory” my little collections. They inspire me in their odd withered fragile beauty. #whatilove #inspiredbynature #wabisabi #cyclesoflife #beautifuldecay #artist #rebeccastahr #inmystudio #buglove #symbolism (at Seymour Street Artist’s Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3utDkdF7DW/?igshid=2osm9sto0hfm
