More Bumbles

Post by Doris_J »

I just love watching Bumble Bees. They covered my Styrax japonica today.

Tonight, I found one resting on a Golden Hop Vine leaf. Poor guy must be worn out!

So cool! One followed us in the house a little bit ago - and was buzzing on the screen door (we were not aware of it) and Miss Grace had her first introduction to a stinging insect :lol:

This morning, the little stinker was still resting on the same leaf. It hadn't warmed up enough for him, I guess. And look, a friend joined him!
