Rural Gardening: Sleeping Bumblebee, 1 by crissyr

I have more bumble bees than I can shake a stick at, their hive must be close. I'm trying to deadhead these flowers so I have seeds for next year and I can't do it during the day for all of the bumble bees. They never try to attack me or anything, they just fly around me. Anyway, it was still light outside and no bees were flying around as it is cooler than normal today so I figured I would get the rest of the seeds picked. I saw this bee sleeping in the flower, I found 4 sleeping bees total, but there might be more. I quit picking seeds, I'm not sure if I would have bothered them or not.
