Bombus vosnesenskii, queen. Here on one of nature’s perfect pollinator plants, Erigeron glaucus. A west coast native that if given a little protection on the coldest of nights will never cease blooming, even in the darkest days of a northwest winter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#erigeronglaucus #seasiderabane #bombusvosnesenskii #yellowfacedbumblebee #natgeoyourshot https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRC3c7hPh_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tg2s9f34tor2

Just some good old bee fun. Graceful dismounts are not something bumble bees are known for. Watch them on your plants and see for yourself. They just sort of fall out of the flowers. #bombusvosnesenskii #bumblebee #yellowfacedbumblebee #slomo

Yellow-faced bumblebee (Bombus vosnesenskii) on white stonecrop (Sedum album). This plant makes a nice addition to the bee-oriented groundcover garden. It towers a little bit above most other groundcovers, making it an excellent focal point of the garden. It's plentiful white blooms attract a variety of wild bees that look just beautiful on it. #bees #insects #bugs #buzz #bumblebee #pollinators #pocket_insects #macroworld_tr #macro_x #beautifulbee #sedumalbum #bombusvosnesenskii #bombus #whitestonecrop #yellowfacedbumblebee #kings_insects #macroclique #macro_mood #macro_freaks #macro_perfection #whiteflowers #mat_macro
