Just got these out of the camera - they were taken 8/12.

The bees around here really go for basil flowers. Unfortunately I have to cut the flowers off if I want the basil to keep growing. Got to have my pesto!
(I left some flowers on, plus there's lots of other stuff they like).
There are loads of morning glory blooms right nearby that the bees seems to ignore. Yet the hummingbirds love them. And I was surprised that the bees didn't seem to go for Nasturtiums. It's been an interesting year figuring out what they do like and what they don't
