Caught out by the weather

Found this bumble bee in my workshop, caught out by the weather I suspect, feeding on syrup.

I remember reading in the Humble Bee Book that they often stay out from the nest for two or three days. Humble has been twisted in usage to Bumble...

Last Monday a bumble was foraging on a black current bush in my garden in the poring rain, strong little things

Yes main reason for posting it. The probosis is very large as can be seen. Pity the quality of my iphone picture is not better.

I've had some good results with my iPhone. You need to tap the screen in the area that you want focus (a green box appears). I'm amazed at how good these cameras are. Sorry if teaching to suck eggs

Amazing forum, not just bees but iphone cameras as well lol. Yeah much to learn!! I'll try that next time if I can find my glasses and not push the wrong buttons.
