    One more bumble bee....now that Sweet Autumn clematis is blooming, I've got a new attraction for all the insects.

    And we still have honey bees, not anywhere near extinct around here.

    Bees are the best buzzers! :D I'm not particularly fond of wasps or flies, but bees don't bother me at all. I really like the last photo!

    Whatever would we do without these busy little bees in our gardens? I love to see them buzzing around and am always sorry when winter comes and I can no longer watch them.

    Great pictures Pianolady. I like the bees too, but I don't dare get too close to them!
