Bumbles!

I've seen more bumbles in my garden this year than any other bee. I do tend to see a lot of honeybees early when the cranesbill is blooming and late when the tall Sedums bloom. But this time of year and in particular this year, I have a huge abundance of bumbles. I do love them.

The bumble on the coneflower appeared to be taking a nap. He was just laying there for the longest time which allowed me to get this photo. I thought he might be dead, but he lazily flew away shortly after. It must be hard to take off with all that weight on those tiny wings!

I'm always inspired by Zach's photos and wish I were better. Of course that would also probably mean I'd have to spend more on a camera. That would cut into my plant budget!
