@addy1 These guys have been hanging out [and monopolizing] around all the hummingbird feeders for the past few weeks. They aren't aggressive, but I tend to keep my distance and haven't attempted to chase them off. Anyway, they leave me alone when I'm near -- will buzz around but that's all.
Are they honey bees or some other species? And how can you tell? This is the first year I've seen them like this on the hummer feeders..... There are flowers nearby, and they are also covered with bees [also bumble bees on the flowers].
