Bumble bees and others on goldenrod

I counted about 17 bumble bees on this one goldenrod flower, plus several other bees and some hover flies. It was autumn, and there was a feeding frenzy on before the first frost which would end this bounty of life.

They seem to love this flower. Quite a collection of bumble bees. Their furry texture seems to fit in with the goldenrod. V.
