Weekly Wildlife at the Garden: Bumbling Along
Posted in Wildlife on July 21 2015, by Patricia Gonzalez

One of the things I love about this time of year is that all of the outdoor gardens surrounding the Haupt Conservatory—the Home Gardening Center, Perennial Garden, Seasonal Walk, and Ladies’ Border among them—are teaming with bumblebees doing their important work. But my personal favorite place to shoot them is Daffodil/Daylily Walk. The blazing oranges, purples, and other colors serve as a fantastic backdrop to my winged friends.

This has just become my favorite picture of a bumblebee! Thanks, Pat!
