Was out in the yard earlier enjoying the nice weather we had today. I also noticed a few blooms left in the garden. Hummingbirds are continuing to zoom around the feeders as well. Birds are bathing in the bird bath.
A few white blooms remain on my butterfly bush blooms in Dustin's garden. I noticed this large bumble bee enjoying the nectar. I slowly followed him from bloom to bloom, snapping photos all along.
Always excited to see the bees in the garden. This may be one of the last ones of this season. Fall has arrived. But they will return next year to enjoy the nectar and pollen in the yard and garden. More little things to share with you.
Photo is mine. Zoomed in to see the details of this bumble bee.

@DevMrSamEleazar Exactly. Slow moves are the key. The same with getting photos too.

@MommyOfEli2013 I don’t like being chased either.

@CarolDM I understand that they are, but I don't like being chased by them like today.

That is a really nice snap. Additionally, I am using Mylot on a laptop after a number of days and delighted to see a bigger image.
I have been using Mylot more in short sprints of late so tend to use mobile more.
So Bumble Bees do not like to come in Fall weather?
Do they migrate to warmer climates?

I never knew that Bees also hibernate !!
It's a new information for me

@CarolDM
Generally when we thought of hibernation, we thought of Foxes, Bears and Rabbits.
Never thought of Bees or Bumble Bee.

I am always happy to bid the bugs adieu. I know bumblebees are important though.

I used to see them on the Thunbergia's in our garden. They used to be invaders and so I have tried to pull them out. I still see a vine showing and with no flowers yet.
