Last year somebody wrote that the bumblebee seems a harder worker than
the honeybee. I think I have to agree! Yesterday, I saw a gigantic
bumblbee working over some Lonicera purpusii by our front door and a
couple more were diligently crawling over Acacia atropurpureum in a
greenhouse. The slightest ray of sunshine and lift in temperature
seems to bring them out. It's also a welcome sign of hopefulness and
raises the spirits!
