I get bummed out when I see a bumble bee dead. It's sad :( The pollinators were hitting my dahlias last night pretty good and I snapped this photo with my phone while on JB patrol. It was cool watching the moth stick his 'nectar straw' (extreme layman's terms) in and out of the 'yellow stuff' (again, I don't know the terms)

edited to add: I almost forgot too. There was a JB on one of the dahlias and I was going to drown his rump but then a bumble came up an interrupted. The bumble was crawling all over the JB like he wasn't even there. It was funny, almost like the bumble was treating the JB as a second class citizen. At least that's what I made up in my mind....
