I always enjoy watching bumblebees going about their business. Observed this Bombus appositus (white-shouldered bumblebee) last weekend visiting a population Gentiana parryi (Parry's Gentian) in the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico. Earlier in the season, before the Gentiana are flowering, I have seen these bees visiting several other genera of wildflowers including Monarda, Oxytropis, and Penstemon.

This is the same bee I posted last night, sleeping under a zinnia. Still there in the morning before the sun hit this side of the flower patch.

Like thieves in the night, not all the bees are using the front door of this fuchsia to collect nectar.

Back in Sugadaira for a field course. Grassland flowers and insects are always fun to watch!

Just a bumblebee where I wouldn’t normally expect to see any this time if the year, up in the hills of an island in . It’s been raining far more than usual and the fields are green and in blossom, instead of the usual dry.

I'm downright phobic about , though I've done some homespun CBT over the last half century to get it under control with respect to , yellow jackets, etc.

So why is it as it gets cooler, there are always hornets close to the house (or flying through as I air out in the morning)? I let them be but they do provoke MY flight response. Are these females looking for a new nesting place to overwinter & start a new colony or some such?

Oh to be a fat bumblebee rubbing your face on some flowers.

So many bumbles in the oregano this morning! Two different species. Don't know if deciding to not mow the pasture this spring made a difference, but seeing more bumble bees this year.

Here's a short from one of my hikes this summer out in Lapham Peak state park, one of my favorite places to go, featuring the humble bumbles at work!
