Sleepy Bees

Take Sominex tonight and sleep ... safe and restful ... sleep, sleep, sleep ...

ah, a zinnia pillow, just what I’ve always wanted...

The bees (or at least the bumblebees) have been acting strangely. They are not your typical busy bees. Au contraire my friend, they seem to be doing the exact opposite. They are sleepy, drugged, or? I have noticed this before right around this time of year. So bizarre. Is it an overdose of pollen? They are in a trance-like state for fifteen minutes or more. I can move the flower they are on, get my camera lens almost on their bodies and yet they snooze peacefully away. Their legs are in a relaxed position, their heads down as if in a deep snooze. After a while they awaken from their drug/pollen induced stupor and fly drunkenly off. Does anyone know why they do this?

two naps are better than one

Then there is always the dangling sleep mode.

Don’t worry, it’s not dead, just very relaxed. After taking this photo I think the flash woke it up and it assumed this position.
