There's a constant buzzing drone around our house this time of year! <br /><br />I can also always seem to find a few on the May Night Salvia. You got some great shots of them on your flowers!

I have many of the same flowers you show in your lovely photos - butterflyweed, penstemon, aronia, etc. Does it seem to you that there are fewer bees around this year?Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-51292429177775443522013-06-08T14:01:57.311-05:002013-06-08T14:01:57.311-05:00And they're pretty cute, as far as bugs go! ...And they're pretty cute, as far as bugs go! I always feel like their presence in the garden means that my garden is healthy. It's always nice to garden surrounded by (friendly) bees and other pollinators.

I have lots of Bumbles in my garden and even though I get so close to them they've never tried to sting me...they just go about their business. I have quite a few clumps of Butterfly Weed in my garden but this year two odd stems came up out front in different places. I had no idea what they were so I waited. Come to find out they are pink Milkweed. I was so excited to have them. Thanks for all the great info on the bumbles...I really enjoyed this post!
