I have a bee who visits my morning glories and sunflowers (still have a couple going strong!) that I call Mr. Buzzness

I am pretty sure it’s the same bee because it comes and flies in my face and does a little waggle before going off to the flowers. I’ve been putting a bowl of water out for him and it will use that.

Bees are dope.
