I found these 2 love bees in the greenhouse today, then I had visions of bees bees and more bees so I scooped them up and put them outside and off they flew into the sun!

I didn't realise there was such a difference in size, you can sort of see the wee male (I think, they are usually smaller

) and they are totally different in colour. When you see them in the garden its always the big ones with lots of colour. They were so sweet I had to share.

Aw....lovely. We've had lots of bumble bees in the garden...they love the hollyhocks and lavender..
One knackered bee even slept inside one of the gazanias all night on Saturday...went off happy as a happy thing when the sun came up it did... ;D

We too have Hollyhock and the bumble bees do sleep in those as well. Here is one that is not asleep.

Yours seems to have a yellow haircut whereas mine wore orange. Makes you wonder about how many different bumble bees there are. I always want to stroke the bigger ones, they look so soft.
