Bumble Bees and Hedychium
19 years ago
What is it with bumble bees and Hedychium blooms? Every one of the flowers is completely covered with the bees from the time the blooms start to show until they are completely spent. They aren't actively buzzing but just kind of sit in the flower 24/7. It's weird.
