We've just passed #MayDay #Beltane #Ūsiņi in the Latvian tradition- all based on the Cross-quarter day between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.
In the Latvian division of the year, this marks the beginning of the #TimeOfFlowers
#bees #flowers #greening of the land ++ are associated with this time. I have a blog post with pics + vids of bees, flowers etc and link to another post about the roots of the Latvian celebration.

see main post for description and blog links-- Latvian pagan god Ūsiņš and primal aspect of the Great Mother -Ziedu Māte/Flower Mother escort Saule/the Sun on her spring return, green the land, nurture bees and spread flowers! A blessed and fruitful season to you! #animist #florespondence #pollinators #Alberta #bloomscrolling #BorealForest #gardening #nature @insects @plants

We see the 'back' top of a honeybee with wings spread, more or less vertically perched on a pussywillow which is partly still silvery fuzziness and at one end shows pink unopened pollen cases with a few stamens open at top. The catkin is on an erect red-brown smooth willow stem. Background pinkish blur of more stems.
Large bumblebee queen pale gold with black head, legs, 'shoulder' spot and black band toward 'tail' with an orange band below that. She's carrying an orange clump of pollen and hovering in front of several pink-purple sort of trumpet shaped flowers, growing from just opened palmate foliage above the flowers.
