I too had a bee-like insect working my crocuses yesterday. It looked like a honeybee--even had large pollen sacks on the legs--but I could count only two wings. Is it safe for me to assume that this was indeed a honeybee and that I was just having trouble seeing the second pair of wings? (The insect was moving so quickly that I did have trouble getting a good look at her.) I other wildlife encounters, I found my first basement salamander of the season, a large (body about 2 inches or more plus tail) blue-spotted. I usually find salamanders (usually yellow spotted) every spring in an area of the basement that is quite damp because of water leaking through some cracks. I'm never sure whether I should give these fellows a ride out to the marsh that surrounds our pond or whether they're happy where they are and I should just leave them alone. Any thoughts on this? Thanks to everyone who helped me with my pollinator question earlier this week! Wild Flora
