Look at these Saddlebags!

 I'm amazed this hard working buff tailed bumblebee was even able to get off the ground carrying this much shopping!

  1. You could do worse than make a folder with all your bees in - you have so many different ones and the photographs are all brilliant. Hope it is a cricket weekend for you - the weather is perfect.

  2. I knew they worked hard but that's ridiculous!

  3. That is amazing - presumably off white clover (bees seem to like to learn how to deal with a flower type and stick to it if they can). We saw a bumblebee of some kind here today sipping nectar from long narrow (tubular) flowers by drilling through from the outside near the nectar source - like they used to on our runner beans (and avoid the polliination process!)

  4. Early bumbles drill like that if I remember right
