A green sweat bee forages on a tall yellow mullein (Verbascum).

Native bumblebee rummaging around on a purple allium.

A bee-mimic (sorry, I don't know the species) having a little snack on purple heliotrope.

Now, for #flowersonFriday, and to continue ignoring the rest of the world with some #bloomscrolling... bees & bee mimic in flowers. My favourite native bees are the green sweat bees, speedy & charming. Bees don't sting me, ever. #pollinatorgardener #beecharmer
