So yesterday this #bumblebee came flying right at my face. I tried to dodge, but it landed on my head.
Bumblebees aren't aggressive but they can sting in theory and unlike honeybees, they don't die if they do. I was worried that it would get tangled in my hair and panic.
Hair is a mess, glad I'm getting it cut on Friday. Also I want to get some more henna in there for Pride month/summer.
This Hunt's bumblebee landed on my shirt and stayed there long enough to worry me. I set it down in a raised bed, with a bunch of freshly picked dandelions, next to a tiny ceramic water cup. It woke up and started browsing on the flowers. I didn't see it go, but it did go.
I’m back from my mom’s condominium, where the excessively manicured sprayed and poisoned landscapes are barren of bees and butterflies. So glad to be in my garden where the wild things are. Here is a great big bumblebee busy at work in our front yard.
