From late May through July, there are several species of wild, native blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) fruiting in the Piedmont. They’re split into two major groups, the lowbush blueberries (often around 0.5 meters tall) and the highbush blueberries (1-3 meters tall).

If you try one of their edible fruits, spend some time appreciating our native bumblebees that make these fruits possible. You see, not just any pollinator can provide you with blueberries. On blueberry flowers, the pollen is not on the outside of the anther, but on the inside. So how does the pollen get out? That’s where buzz pollination by bumblebees comes in. When bumblebees visit blueberry flowers, they flap their wings in a manner that generates a low buzzing frequency that causes the pollen to exit out of a small pore at the tip of the anther. Bumblebees pack this pollen into their pollen baskets and then accidentally deliver some of it onto the stigma of other blueberry flowers they visit. The end result is cross-pollination between blueberry bushes and these delicious dark blue fruits. Thanks, bumblebees! 🐝

I make medicine pouches as they were taught to me. I share the knowledge and stories behind each one. I like to make those more traditional styles, but also like to switch it up and represent what trade looks like historically. We evolve as native people and so do our crafts. It tells a story of who we are, but who we are as modern indigenous peoples too. I am thankful for community who reaches out to me to pass on that tradition to the next generations.
