Bumble bee has come at last to our blueberry flowers.
The flowers started to flower several days ago,
and it was a sunny and a bit hot day today.
They pollinate more than ten-thousand flowers in April,
and we pick up more than 10kg berry in summer.
We owe them for the crop!

クマバチがついにブルーベリーの花にやってきました.
数日前に開花しはじめていました.
今日は晴れてちょっと暑い天気でした.
彼らは一万個以上の花の授粉を四月にして
夏には私たちが10キロ以上の実を摘みます.
収穫は彼らのお陰です.
On the other hand, I found a pest of rose; a rose sawfly (Arge pagana).
It deposits eggs in young stalks of rose,
and its larvae eat young leaves.

一方では、バラの害虫も発見、チュウレンジバチです.

幼虫は葉を食べます.
Dear Poirot
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing the bees on the blueberries too - my blueberries are a bit behind yours though and are not yet in flower. My roses also get attacked by the rose sawfly so I do sympathise about that - the little caterpillars do make an awful mess of the leaves. I try and get rid of them as soon as I see them but it is a bit of a battle between us!
Best wishes
Ellie
Dear Ellie
DeleteI love to hear buzzing of bees.
The battle has already started between pests and us this season.
