Monarda and Salvia

I'd be sitting there for hours watching them!

Many times that is my activity (or lack of it) as well Scottish .Love these little guys. They are very territorial and defend their feeders vigorously .

I've done that many times this year Klahanie - I'm on the lookout for the return of the red tailed bumblebees to my garden this year but no sign yet - my garden in usually swarming with them :(

That is no good Scottish, what do you think happened to them. I googled, because I have never seen them around here. They are sure cute little creatures.

I know for sure that the nest in my garden got flooded last year I thought the queen got away safely. I did a wee blog last year.

I doubt they will make an appearance this late in the year but maybe they will return next year.

These images are amazing Scottish. Loved your blog BTW.
I hope the queen had a chance to re-establish the colony.

Me too - time will tell I suppose!
