Bumblebees Galore

We've always had a few bumble bees, but nothing like this year. Dozens of them working a single philodendron bush all day long. Little stinkers move fast and make hand held macro a challenge, but still fun to watch.
Stunning clarity! Beautiful pov and gorgeous flower. Lovely dof!

karen and Tara, Thanks. Glad you liked it. Haven't heard any explanation for why so many bumbles this year, but if I hear, I'll let you know! ;-)

Isn't it wonderful that you are seeing more, since they've been so threatened!

Thanks! Now you have me wondering, Lyn,
Did the bumblebees suffer something similar to hive collapse that beset the honey bees?

Glad you liked it. Don't know where they all hid during todays thunderstorm. Be interesting to see them back when the sun returns.
