Every day, it's bzz bzz bzz in the beebalm
(wild bergamot)
The bumblebee is leaving for another bergamot bloom, we see its blurry butt while it's flying away
One bergamot bloom, slightly spent (the middle is green and not lilac anymore). A bumblebee is eating nectar in one of the tubes, each eye on each side of one tube. Almost looks like a spider like that??
Two blooms of lilac wild bergamot seen from underneath/behind. A big bumblebee is barely visible, its whole body being inside one of the blooms.

A Red-Spotted Purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) on the purple coneflowers. The red spots at top corner of the wings are barely visible. But the shimmery blue color stands out.

Hang on - whaaat!? "Plants can 'hear' bees buzzing and serve up more nectar when they are nearby, scientists have found. Amazingly, they can tell the difference between a bee鈥檚 buzz and that of a non-pollinating insect such as a wasp."
馃槷 That is AMAZING.
