I went for a visit with Mom on Sunday. Every summer, there is a huge flower show in her yard.
This time the fuzzy bumble bees are having a picnic on every kind of flower it seemed. My camera program made me this animation and then asked me if I wanted it. Yes please!
Some even had a party of 4 !
These are SO tall, but not the dinner plate size, so they were still looking up.
A little closer now. I was suspicious that the big one was doing all the work and the smaller one was stealing pollen from it's legs while it was busy.
How dare you turn your back on me ! The nerve of some flowers !
Another animation my phone gave me. This time with the bee on a zinnia.
So many colorful zinnias..... and a happy purple phoenix.
Up close and personal.
....just one more?... maybe.
.... and more on the porch of course.
She took my Step-Dad's golf umbrella to give some of her plants some shade. It really has been hot here.... and humid ! That must be what the bees love.
