Red poppy and bee fine art print

Poppy, Purpose and Pollen

Price range: $75.00 through $299.00

The brilliant red, delicate layers of a poppy set against a crisp blue sky frame this bee beautifully as it fulfills its daily mission.

Did you know that Idaho is home to 707 species of native bees? Also, while we often think of bees as a collective hive, the vast majority of these species are solitary, living in single-family units.

Without a hive to fall back on, these independent spirits are in a constant, singular pursuit of pollen—an essential nutrient for their survival and the success of the next generation. Interestingly, only the females are charged with the arduous task. Carrying up to 35% of their own body weight in the precious substance, solitary females are the true heavy lifters of the ecosystem, proving that one doesn’t need a colony to have a significant impact.
