Picture of the Day: Boulder’s Buzzing Beauty Caught by Lenny Lensworth Frieling

Award-winning photographer Lenny Lensworth Frieling delivers again with today’s Picture of the Day — a striking, close-up photo of a bee in action, captured in the heart of Boulder, Colorado. Hovering midair, pollen-coated and purposeful, this little creature becomes larger than life through Lenny’s lens — a reminder that the smallest moments can carry the greatest weight.

Set against Boulder’s rich natural backdrop, the photo highlights the city’s deep connection to the outdoors and its often-overlooked wildlife. This isn’t just a photo — it’s a buzzing love letter to Boulder’s natural balance and the quiet, essential work of our local pollinators.

Bees in Boulder: A Vital Connection

Boulder County is home to hundreds of native bee species, including bumblebees, leafcutter bees, and mason bees. These tireless pollinators are critical for the region’s wildflowers, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens. The beautiful bloom in today’s photo might not even exist without the work of bees like the one captured here.

But Boulder’s bees are in danger. Like the rest of the country, they’re facing major threats — habitat loss, climate shifts, pesticide exposure, and disease. And yet, through Lenny’s lens, we are reminded they’re still here, still working, still worth fighting for.
