The teasel flower head was a wonderfully sculptural backdrop for these small bees industriously harvesting the pollen. They only have short tongues, so prefer open, daisy like flowers.

However, they are known as ‘nectar robbers’: if they come across a flower that is too deep for their tongue, they bite a hole at its base and suck out the nectar.

Wildlife fact - Since 2010, buff tail bumblebees have been recorded  active over winter in some cities. You can support them by planting winter-flowering plant species, such as Aconite and Mahonia.
