B is for Bees

A wonderful envelope and contents from Fabienne, with these great stamps featuring solitary bees issued by La Poste in 2016.

Megachile bees are known as leaf cutters as they line their nests with cut leaves.

The genus of bees called Colletes are know as polyester bees as they line their nests with a cellophane-like plastic material.

A is for Artek

Sunday Stamps continues with a new A to Z. Let's see how far I can go a second time.

Today's stamp is from Russia, celebrating Artek, a children's holiday camp formerly in the USSR, now in Ukraine on the coast of the Black Sea. You can read more at the wikipedia page.

Z is for Zoologique

On this wonderful mail art from Fabienne, a stamp celebrating 80 years of the Parc Zoologique de Paris.

More animals and funny fruit inside, too. Thanks so much, Fabienne!

And that's another A-Z completed!

As a bonus, here is another A-Z - the BBC put together a list of 26 words that shouldn't be lost to us (but probably already are).
