I love watching the bumblebees. I've taken some pictures of them around the garden, but haven't gotten around to posting them yet. You have inspired me.
Joey: Nice photos of the bees on the Sedum. My Sedum have purple flowers and I will be posting bee and butterfly pics from them on Sunday evening.
I dropped over from Cat's site.

Hasn't it been a great summer for bees, Heirloomgardener? So fascinating to watch ...

Welcome fishing guy (don't you just love visitng our Cat's lovely site) ... I have bees on my Autumn Joy sedum also but preferred the pale pink sedum for this post. Looking forward to viewing yours on Sunday.

Hello dear Kathryn and thank you. I agree about the bees ... half the joy of gardening is viewing the visitors. (Hugs)
