Bumble Bees.

 We have had such a lot of rain recently that when the sun does come out I have noticed how busy the Bumblebees are on the Pieris bushes.

 In front of the house on either side of the wide concrete area going up the drive there is a clump of about 10 bushes. It makes a

 


spectacular sight.( and leaves a white carpet below )



 I am holding the branch up so you can see what the bumbles are collecting. The hang upside down if necessary.
There are lots of bumble bees as well as native bees and other small insects. 
Fascinating to watch.

There have been quite a few bumble bees around here too. It's lovely to hear and see them.
