Bumblebees are so cute and fat.Had a bumble bee a small one sat on one of my dwarf sunflowers for about 7 hours.
I checked with a torch and it's still there.
I did some research and it seems the males leave the hive in search of a female and never return.
spending most of their days sitting on flowers drinking nectar and hoping a female will come along, only 10% of them will ever find a mate.
Says the males have no stingers btw, at least for bumble bees
Oh looky, its raining again... I don't think we've had a rain free day here for 2 weeks.
Worst Summer I can remember TBQFH![]()
