“The U.S. Postal Service pays tribute to the beauty and importance of pollinators with stamps depicting two of our continent’s most iconic: the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and the western honeybee (Apis mellifera), each shown industriously pollinating a variety of plants native to North America.”

How nice it is to see so many butterflies with these stamps. I’m including previous blog posts here with Bees! Both of these are from 2015 – The flight of the bumblebee (for time mgmt), and Bee-cause it is August! Mark your calendar now – August 3rd -awaiting between now and then these stamps and bees will remark how Time Flies!
