This white-tailed bumble bee was found a few hours ago in a state of cold-induced torpor.
After some sugar water and a good warm-up she found the clematis flowers most interesting.
Some minutes later, she regained the power of flight and departed.

About ready to take off, I think.
The wings have been tested !

About 15 seconds later she was airborne again.

Next stage, after the sugar water, is to warm her up.
Either in a cupped hand, or in sunshine.

Bumble bee's bum ... she buzzing so everything's shaking ! as she works her way around the antirrhinum flowers.
At least she is big enough and heavy enough to open the flowers - there was a much smaller honey bee trying the same trick earlier, but she couldn't get in and went back to the brambles.

Bee on patrol.
During the day, various bees from the colony using this nest box can be found flying circuits around outside, usually the area patrolled is no more than a couple of feet away.

If you stop in the garden for a moment and look carefully at every bumble bee you can spot, you will see subtle differences. This one looks like it might be Bombus ternarius, the Orange-Belted Bumblebee. I just thought it was the cutest one in the liatris patch.

With Monarch butterflies recently being added to the list of endangered species, I'm happy to see two or three flitting about my yard and taking full advantage of the Swamp Milkweed plant in my garden. We try to grow as many butterfly, pollinator, and bird friendly plants as possible. This morning I spotted two Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed.
