Big ole bumblebees

Post by Annie »

Man we have lots of these so far this year and they are bigguns :o

I planted a crabapple tree in my back yard last year and it is soooooo pretty now! But boy do the bees like it LOL.

Great picture!! I love to see the bumblebees because I have always heard that the hummingbirds come at the same time, although I haven't seen any yet. Has anyone in zone 5?
I'm getting my feeders ready!! Hopefully they didn't mind the frost!
