The Hollyhock and the Bumblebee


Bumblebees have been feasting on the hollyhocks' pollen for about 3 weeks. They arrive very early in the morning and are often still inside the flowers at dusk. While they're in the garden, they visit my summer squash and cucumber blossoms. I am always appreciative of the beneficial work that they do.
