“Frozen Bee’s Knees” 2

This bee seems to like the blue salvia. It leaves the red salvia alone.

I think it’s a bumbledy bee, but it seems a bit on the small side compared to the one that once chased me from the barn to the house when I was a kid.

It’s not a good idea to accidentally step on a bumbledy bee. Bumbledy bees have smooth stingers and can sting repeatedly with no harm to themselves.

And I do mean repeatedly.

There was indeed no place to hide.

    Japanese beetle too! Ever get chased by a carpenter bee? They look like bumble bees, only a bit larger. They can get after you too.

    I had carpenter bees once, but they never chased me.
