Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee

Ok - I can't even tell you how nervous I was taking these pictures!  My hands were sweating, I was shaking.  I was so freaked out that they were all going to turn on me and attack. Or that I'd bump into one while I was focused on another.  Whew.  I'm really glad I got a good picture to post and that it's over!

But I had to document these bees! There are TONS of the fattest, fuzziest, hugest bees just outside our front door totally coating themselves in pollen. This picture doesn't even show how covered they get before they head off, back to the hive I suppose. They seriously look like little puffs of light yellow pollen by the time they leave. It's pretty funny looking.
