Returning from our beach walk yesterday I was amazed to hear this large bumble bee on my shrubby honeysuckle by the front gate. I watched him for ages :)

You are my honey, honeysuckle,
I am the bee,
I’d like to sip the honey sweet
From those red lips, you see
I love you dearly, dearly,
And I want you to love me,
You are my honey, honeysuckle,
I am the bee
Ah, I do feel better for that! Super photo too.
