Blue Thistle, Amy's Garden, Bartlett Pond, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA



The blue thistle is thriving and becoming very popular with the bees.

Lots of pollen to go around but, sometimes there is more than one bee on a single flower.......

....and when they meet face-to-face, they must decide whether each other is a threat.........

....and this time,  they decide it's okay to just go about their respective business and share the flower.

I'm glad they stayed because this bumblebee has the coolest, mostly transparent wings and let me get close enough to take this picture.
