Bumble Bees

I've been noticing alot of bumble bees around the last week or so.  Over the weekend, as many at 5-10 on the cone flowers and butterfly bush at one time.  Yesterday, LG came over and said she saw 4 bees hanging at the entrance of one of the bird houses.

I have a bumble bee nest in one of my previously occupied birdhouses.  How cool is that.  I've never seen a bumble bee nest before.  You can read about it here.

Guarding the entrance.

Others on flowers...

This is a series of pics i took as the bee was circling around the flower, getting every tiny open miniflower, and flying away.  Hope you like.

Hey short one.... it worked!!!
