Bee on dandelion

It’s only the second day of spring but the air is abuzz with bees busily flying from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen. For the time being it’s mostly flowers of dandilion which are abundant around the ancient city walls of Figline.
The English name dandelion is a corruption of the French dent de lion meaning “lion’s tooth”, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. The names of the plant have the same meaning in several other European languages, such as the Italian dente di leone, Spanish diente de león, Portuguese dente-de-leão, Norwegian Løvetann, and German Löwenzahn.
