The days are long and hot.
And I've noticed tons of bumbles sleeping away the morning.
On the Inula.
And on the roses.
And I have never seen so many bees.
Sleeping away the early morning hours.
There is a thought that they may be passing away.
And thus go to Bee Heaven. Where, I assume, there are many flowers.
But they soon shake off their drowse.
And toddle off to get about their day.
The bees are everywhere. This year.
The males are the ones who like to have sleepovers.
In all the flowers. Quite a bit in the Inulas.
Cosmos. Echinaeca. Geraniums.
Since the males do not have a stinger, you can go ahead and stroke their fuzzzz.
They will just snore away.
The females go back to the hive for the night.
But the males get quite pooped.
And will plop down on any old flower.
Makes it difficult to weed and prune the next day.
With so many bees around. Buzzzzzzzzzz.
And if they are getting ready to die off.
And at some point, they WILL pass away. To make ready for a new season.
But for now they just sleep. Like forgotten flower fairies.
And probably dream. Buzzzzzz.
