My Guests

Bumblebee on the Lantana camara

I have guests this lunch. One was our son who ate lunch with us and the other one was the bumblebee that kept on sipping the nectar of our Lantana Camara. It is nice to have lunch with our son again. Though it is only half an hour, I still treasure it. It is getting normal now in my neck of the woods. I am starting my tutor job again and I am looking forward to it. I didn't know if it is the same bumblebee I have seen a few days ago that came today. Maybe it was a new one. It really doesn't matter. I just hope that a butterfly will come soon. How is your day/evening? I hope it is fine. Thank you and see you later.

It is getting normal here also, the border with Italy has now reopened, people feel less stressed. There is a bumblebee that comes every day to feed on the tomatoes flowers on the plant I kept on our balcony.

@Tampa_girl7 I see wasps, bees, those horrible stinky bugs and also some locusts, they eat the leaves of the plants.

Yes, the people feel less stressed now but still aware of the virus and keeping precautions. You remind me that there were 2 bumblebees on my tomato plants this morning. I was not able to take a photo of them. Thanks @LadyDuck and have a nice evening.

It must be so nice having lunch with your son. I'm looking forward to that day, too. The bumblebees and butterflies have been out in full force here. I still get scared when a bee buzzes too close to me.

Yes, it was nice @DianneN. Time will come and you will be able to. That is great. I am also scared of bees but not bumblebees. I just keep away from them. I zoom my camera to take photos of bumblebees.

It is a pity we can't tell the insects and bees apart from each other. I often wonder if a particular kangaroo is the same one that I saw on a previous day.

It's always good to have visitors in our garden. They help our flowers to pollinate and also we get to enjoy nature's true glory.
