What a great sighting! I bet you couldn't believe your eyes. Do you have any flowers in bloom now to attract it?

My husband commented on the large number of bees on my winter Honeysuckle flowers, and when I looked there were more than a dozen, two of which were Bumble bees! No butterflies yet, Marie, I must keep my eyes open.

I just hope that they are not tricked by a mild spell and will have somewhere to go to survive a cold spell which could arrive without warning.
