i actually do know this.... but it's getting to be that time of year again....
"This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve."
Our lawn is solid dandelions around the house and we love the carpet of yellow flowers and white puff balls.
Plus they keep the grass down,I don't care for grass much personally.
