Sleeping bees



Late spring and early summer is when so much happens in the garden.


After a heatwave week, our high temperatures are now around 70, at least 15 degrees lower.

Yesterday, the first day of cooling down, instead of nectaring and collecting pollen until 8 pm, some of the bees decided to turn in for the day at 4 pm.


Here are some Yellow-faced bumble bees, Bombus vosnesenskii, sleeping in and on native plants.

The bee above is asleep in a Gumweed flower.






This bumble bee is asleep on the stem of a Seacliff buckwheat shrub.








And this one is sleeping on a Coyote Bush branch.


Getting extra sleep for another busy day.
