The Bugs & The Bees

The early summer flowers are now in bloom here in Zone 3. The following are from my gardens by the house.

Ants busily working on the Peonies, they will have them open in a day or two...












































































This Bumble Bee was extremely tolerant of me, luckily. It was not easy to get good images of this Bee. If you ever watch Bumble Bees you know that they are very busy workers, never staying in one place perfectly still which makes it really hard to lock focus on such a small target (not to mention how grumpy they are :) Well it took me at least 10 minutes and some 40 odd shots to get these images...
