Bees that build flower petal nests!

Jerome Rozen/American Museum of Natural History

Check out this story on NPR! These little nests are made by solitary bees. They are so beautiful. And the mama is such a hard worker. Aren't bees grand?!

I cherish the bees that visit our garden, and don't use pesticides, to keep them safe. This bee home of petals is lovely and new to me.

I've never seen something like that before. Isn't nature wonderful?
