Bumble bee twice- Bombus terrestris

Todays Thursday challenge is "The garden" and Im early for once, so I wanted to use my bumble bees on my Budleia globosa!
I wanted 2 bees in the same shot but with a twist and the second bee behind this took ages to get into the right position for this shot.
This was 1 out of about 30 shots!
I could have used photoshop but I didnt lol!

More bees in their own gallery.

Here.

Others getting busy in the garden for todays TIC are

other sizes: small medium large original auto
