    You are right Fish...there is a science to everything...even petting bumblebees.

    I signed up, can't wait to get my seeds. I have never grown sunflowers before but I have a lot of large containers and 5 gallon buckets to plant some in so hopefully I can help with the project. Will be kinda fun to have the kids help me and see how many bumble bees they will dare to pet. It waill also be very interesting to see how may types of bees and other insects actually visit the sunflowers. Last year I saw a lot of bumble bees but very few of anything else.

    I have always been able to play with the white face bumble bee because they do not have stingers.
