Busy Bumblebee

Yes this is our first true bumblebee. We have seen wasps, hornets, tiny bee-like insects and flies aplenty, but a true bumblebee has yet to be seen in action.

Until now.

But this morning he was busy at work, he stopped to visit all the flowers in the garden. He visited all the squash blossoms.

He stopped at a multitude of tomato flowers.

He nosed around our first miniature sunflower of the season.
I think this bodes well for our future harvest.

I wonder where he lives. I hope he brings his friends back. It would be really cool to keep bees. Maybe in the future we can have chickens too.

How does your garden grow ...

Water towers gaze
Clean laundry blows in the sun
Zucchinis blossom

It would be so great if every New York City rooftop was covered with fruits and vegetables, blooming trees, birds, bees and laundry drying in the sun.
We can all imagine.
