I took some pictures of a beautiful Bumblebee visiting my sunflower some days ago. I love how long it was collecting the pollen there so I was able to take several pictures of the nice insect. Most bumblebees are social insects that form colonies with a single queen. The colonies are smaller than those of honey bees, growing to as few as 50 individuals in a nest. Like their relatives the honeybees, bumblebees feed on nectar, using their long hairy tongues to lap up the liquid. I like how busy they are and how often they visit my sunflower.
