I am not sure of it. Can you see if it is a bee or just a bumblebee? Do you know the name of this flower?
As I have told you in my latest post, my husband and I went to Moyland Castle yesterday. The castle was and still is beautiful but I didn´t go inside. What interested me was the garden outside the castle. It was a beautiful garden with lots of sculptures from different kinds of artists unknown to me. There were also an extra gardens for flowers and herbs.
The flower garden was awesome as it has a lot of different flowers, like roses, tiger lilies, lavender and other flowers which I don´t know the names. I have noticed that some of the flowers have plenty of bees sipping from one nectar to the others. I took a lot of videos and photos.
Some of the plants were plenty of bees and bumblebees. I was a bit scared but gladfully, I was able to zoom the camera. I will be posting the videos later on my youtube channel.
Are you scared of bees or bumblebees?
Anyway, it was a wonderful Sunday at the castle. I will be searching online again where I can go next time.
Thanks for reading. I have to stop now as I have to cook for dinner. I still don´t know what. We´ll see. Have a nice Monday everyone.

I was bitten by a bee before. I guess I am afraid of bees.

You can read the difference between the bee and the bumblebee here
Thank you @sol_cee
Bees have been much in the news of late, and for the saddest of reasons: due to habitat loss, global warming, pesticides, and monocrop agriculture, their numbers are in sharp decline across the United States.

It looks like a sunflower to me. It's just that sunflower petals are a little wider

Looks like mature sparkling yellow daisy's to me or attached to a plant which is a little dry? Most likely mature flowers with the honey bee busy harvesting them. I love bees.

It's a honey-bee. It wouldn't harm you unless it thought that you were attacking its hive or itself. Honey bees usually die once they have stung because the sting is barbed and for them to try to pull it out will usually disembowel the bee. Wasps, on the other hand, can sting you and fly away unharmed,
Bunble bees are said not to have stings. They do, actually, but they very rarely use them.

looks like a honey bee to me. A bumble bee is much larger in size with smaller wings.
