"#Species like #Camponotus inflatus constantly #feed #honeypot #ants with #honeydew and #flower #nectar. At one point, the honey ants’ #abdomens become so big that they are unable to move, so they just hang from the roof of their nest #chamber until their fellow ants require their precious #cargo."

There are several #allium #umbels (or #onion #flowers) which are blooming at present. They give local #bees a handy place to feed.
Here is a #BumbleBee. The first one is #yellow and #stripy whereas most local varieties have one #orange part to their #abdomens.
The second is what may be a a #HoneyBee.
