Two bees in a blossom

. . . munch munch munch . . . 

Two bumblebees banqueting in a rose blossom.   
 
These bumble bees may be Bombus auricomus (black and gold bumblebee); they are so bunched up it is hard tell.

Pollinate me!

 
Apple blossoms now mean apples by the Fourth of July (or that week).

Taking a closer look


bumblebee and daffodil

Hmm...  should I?


A Bombus auricomus (black and gold bumblebee) flies in for a closer look at the pollen in this narcissus (daffodil).

p.s.  it decided against going in.
