Don’t ask me why but I really love bumblebees and there are many to be found now among the flowers.
Bumblebees are not as aggressive. Males cannot sting, and females only do so when they feel threatened.
Bumblebees are excellent pollinators, they are in fact much more efficient pollinators than honeybees
But they are not always so easy to capture as they usually hide half of themselves deep into a flower.
Thanks for not hiding. Sometimes you’re lucky!

Underbara bilder:-) Jag älskar också humlor, och jag har ett minst fyra stycken redan. Riktigt välnärda är dom i år. Nästan synd att jag kan inte bjuda dom på så fina blommor på balkongen som Malta erbjuder;-)

Så fin skärpa på den djupdykande humlan 🙂 Snyggt fångad i luften också. Tur den inte vet att den inte kan flyga 🙂
