Bumble Bee taking time out to sunbathe.


Bumble Bee taking time out to sunbathe.

I often wondered how they manage to cling on to flower heads barely able to take their own weight. Check out the pincers at the end of his legs.

That's a brilliant photo, Scotsgran. The light on his wings!
Saw my first one in the garden yesterday.

I saw my first one earlier in the week and then the sun came out yesterday so I ventured out to a bit of weeding, the Bumble bees were crawling all over the heathers.

I'm glad he/she is smaller than me although he/she does move a lot faster.
