I have always been fond of bumblebees. They have a charming furriness about them, and they are not very aggressive toward humans — certainly compared with paper wasps and yellowjackets. They have such charming alternative early English names, too — the drumbledrane, the dumbledore, or, the one which Charles Darwin knew them by, the humblebee. I photographed this one ambling from one henbit bloom to another on a delightfully mild spring afternoon.
