Two native bumble bees were working on the catmint. Does anyone know what kind?
They don’t do in-air refueling, like the Sphinx moth. Instead of a long proboscis and fast wings, they land
and hang from the blossoms as they stick their head right into the flowers.
They climb all over the flower spike, and put their heads deep into places that a lot of other pollinators have already been before. They’re really working these flowers, who frankly look a little tired.
And here’s a photo so beautiful it leaves me without words.
Hope you have a nice Friday!
