The Humble Bumble

I've never seen this happen before - prob because we've never planted crocus's in the garden before, but they've become the daytime homes for a very special, if not drunken insect! The humble bumble!!!!













Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? There were 4 bumbles in one small white crocus & another one came down & tried to join in but was kicked out! Icon_lol

RE: The Humble Bumble

Great photos! By becoming the daytime homes, do you mean the stay inside the petals for most of the day? If so, then I've never seen that before!
