Several people have told me I should keep bees (probably since I garden with them in mind), but I think that would be out of my skill range. I love seeing them happily foraging on all the plants though!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-66825861665191100552014-10-12T08:03:24.881-05:002014-10-12T08:03:24.881-05:00I didn't realize they had fuzzy bodies too!

How neat to have honey from bees that may have visited your garden! It reminds of the times a local beekeeper used to bring his hives to my Dad's farm so they could enjoy the clover for awhile. He always gave Dad some honey to share, and it certainly was delicious!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-69669138805016177302014-10-07T05:28:11.266-05:002014-10-07T05:28:11.266-05:00What a wonderful find and kindred spirits...love t...What a wonderful find and kindred spirits...love the pics too!!Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-67354490929427478142014-10-05T23:36:19.211-05:002014-10-05T23:36:19.211-05:00Great photos!

Younger bees have a fuzz and the older ones are balder. Your photos are clear enough to see what they mean, the bee in the second last bee photo is much fuzzier than the ones in the earlier shots. Must get myself a decent camera...Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899292686129929509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-74237512098842654932014-10-05T21:29:03.821-05:002014-10-05T21:29:03.821-05:00Sweet (literally and figuratively)!

You can see why they were there on the Bridge's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bridge-of-Flowers/130369333692022 I didn't get photos of them, or of all the bees in my garden.
