CW: Video; sleeping bees
Two more now brings the count to 4. The cluster had to move over to another dry bloom with more room.

Found this little one sleeping in the strawberry bloom. Keep beeing a bloom rebel out there with your plantings 💚

Still just the pair. Hopeful more will join. 7:15 ish pm PDT and they were getting comfortable on their chosen bloom. The video really shows their green eyes, and brown/gray bodies matching the dried bloom. The Encelia they patrol by day & sleep in by night has tripled in size from when I planted it last year from a 1 gallon pot. Melissodes on Encelia. #SleepingBees #NativePlants #RibbonRefuge

They're still bloom buddies. No others I could find, yet.

Same two. Same flower. Keep dry flowers and stems whenever you can. Focus isn't great. A bit windy & I didn't want to disturb.

Tonight, there are two 💚

First sleeping bee of 2026 💚
Light drizzle kept this male Melissodes nestled on the Encelia. Meanwhile, a female Melissodes was bouncing from flower to flower gathering pollen. The temps and cloud cover have been erratic. Relieved to see both are here again. Keep planting & protecting ribbon refuges 💚
