Bumblebee and flowers

in Town Squarelast month

One of my favorite insects is a bumblebee (Bombus species) Bumbles are exceptionally gentle and calm and rarely sting unless squeezed or stepped on. Male Bumbles don't even have a stinger.

This bumblebee was in a small flower garden near the sidewalk enjoying the zinnas and gladiolus that were planted there.

After reaching adulthood, male bumblebees don't return to the nest. During the summer you can often find them sleeping soundly inside large blossoms—like zinnias and dahlias, waiting for the morning sun to warm them up.

Bumble bees are one of nature's characters. They seem impossible to fly and yet they do.
Great photos Mel as always. 🐝

Good story of Mr Bumblebee. Beautiful garden.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Loving those Zinnias.

That is quite an artsy looking flower in the first photo. No wonder the bee loved it.

Too bad all bees are not as nice as the Bumble. :)

All other bees should be required to take etiquette classes from bumbles!

They should! 😄

It's interesting to know that bumblebee finds shelter by sleeping inside flowers. Making the blossom their bedroom lol, and peacefully waiting for the warmth of the morning sun. Beautiful flowers. You are really a good photographer.

Thank you! Sleeping in a flower sounds ideal, doesn't it?

I know almost nothing about bumblebees. I admit I don't have much affection or appreciation for them; I know they're important for pollination, but there's a part of me that's quite afraid of them, almost like an automatic response. I haven't gone so far as to be allergic to bee, wasp, or bumblebee stings, but I do feel a certain uncontrollable fear when I hear a loud buzzing near me, and it gives me quite a fright.

All other bees should take lessons from these guys about how to e polite!

Imagen drafting to sleep surrounded by blooms and waking by only when the golden rays of the sun softly embrace you. 🐝🌼 That's nature's definition of a perfect morning. ✨🌿

It would be ideal, wouldn't it? I would like to sleep in the lilacs

Lovely flowers. Beautiful garden

Thank you!

Beautiful

Thanks!
