He went to each flower and did the same ring around the center!<br /><br />Marguerite - It really is a wonder when you stop and think of how much they do - all pretty much unnoticed. <br /><br />Masha - I really did! It was funny to see him going around in circles, circle back, then on to the next. I wondered if he was getting dizzy, and how it felt.

I was watching the bees in our apple trees this year and was amazed to see how quickly the flowers came and went (just over a week) and almost immediately after the flowers faded I'm starting to see the small growth of apples begin. All from the work of those little bumbles. How much they do!Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-24292740899738437112011-06-25T02:59:03.019-07:002011-06-25T02:59:03.019-07:00This is a busy bee.This is a busy bee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-3113302849849491242011-06-24T19:27:18.825-07:002011-06-24T19:27:18.825-07:00Cher - They do seem to keep their mind on their bu...Cher - They do seem to keep their mind on their business!
