Cripes! that's nuts. Still, males can be nuts about l'amour, n'est-ce pas?
I heard buzzing one day, and watched a male bumble or carpenter bee hovering around a pair of bees having a 'private conversation'. Every so often, the flyer would go in, and then there be a big buzzing bumbling battle , flying around a bit, then one would go back to the lady, this went on for minutes and many rounds of battle.. It's vignettes like these that make gardening or being out in nature extra special to me.
