Very cool video!! I work for a company that raises bumblebees for pollination. I never thought I would love an insect! BTW, all the bees you see are for the most part females - the males start foraging in the late summer/early spring.

Bumblebees are very cool and very gentle. A lot of people fear them, but there's no need to. They have no interest in stinging people and will only do so if seriously provoked. You can get right up close to them and watch them, and if they get annoyed the worst thing they're likely to do is fly away.

By the way, what that bee was doing was sticking his tongue out to drink the nectar from the flower. The pollination happens because the pollen sticks to their fur.

Nice close ups on the coneflower! Such misunderstood amiable creasures often incorrectly associated with hornets and wasps. Thanks for posting this, beautiful!

Thank you very much that means a lot most people just don't get it when I do stuff like this. They don't see how complex simple everyday beauty is.

@FrenchCuffs13 Bumble bees rock. Giant hornets are something to be scared about.
