Sorry, couldn’t resist that title! This is not a honey bee as you can tell. It’s a rather large bumble bee hanging on for dear life cause it’s weight pulled the bloom over. Look at all that pollen on the bee’s body!

Last year, the honey bees were starving in these parts due to the drought. Our hummingbird feeders were covered with bees most of the summer cause nothing was blooming at all.

What a difference a year makes! There is abundant growth and blooms every where you look. The husband has remarked he hasn’t seen as much wildlife and vegetation in many years.

So… we’re not worrying, we’re “beeing” happy and not complaining at all this year!
