In the hot summer months, flowers are few and far between. I recently found some blooming Bull Thistles that were a huge attraction for bumblebees.
At a time when nectar is hard to find, even a prickly lunch is a huge bonanza. -- Margy

Take a realistic look at life in a remote location where you make your own power, live in harmony with nature, and determine your own destiny. Read Off the Grid by Wayne J. Lutz and see how it works for a couple living in a Coastal BC float cabin.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for stopping by to comment on my Camera Critter post this week. While I've been stung by a honey bee, I've never seen bumble bees become aggressive. Even when they built a nest in the ceiling of our cabin. Now that was an experience. - Margy
