At Lake Musconetcong, nature revealed a moment both beautiful and bittersweet. On a yellow wildflower I planted earlier this summer, a big bee chose it as her final resting place. Instead of returning to the hive, she remained on the bloom—appearing peacefully asleep by the lakeshore.
This WildCamNJ video captures the quiet grace of her last breath, a reminder of how life and loss coexist in nature’s story. For me, it also highlights the importance of planting diverse flowers and creating spaces where pollinators can thrive, even if their journeys end there.
🌱 Sharing with the self‑promotion flair as this is my own content, and I hope it sparks conversation about pollinator‑friendly planting in New Jersey and beyond.
