Default Bumble bees sleep in garden?


They are definitely fuzzy. Um...I think I'll pass on the stinger test :P.
I'll take a close look tomorrow. I have this flower bush out front that
usually has 10-20 of the critters buzzing around it at any time. Something
about the bush attracts them, not sure what it is.

Anyone know what kind of plant this is? The bumble bees love it, and are
attracted to it. I can find a dozen of them buzzing around it at any given
time.

And this fuzzy fellow spent the night on this sunflower leaf:
