Last summer I saw fifteen thousand Bumble Bees everyday. I think this year all combined I have seen 20 Bumble Bees.
Such hard workers these bees. I loved harvesting among them.
I miss them this summer. I have only recently begun to see more of them. And it is only one variety: smallish with yellow bands real low on the abdomen and high on the thorax(like above image). What happened to all others I have no idea. The December Deep Freeze could be the cause. It is troubling to lose such a devout pollinator.
I dont know how or why the above pic is cut off. Too bad. Really is a pretty bug.
