Early breakfast for bumble bees and wasps in our garden

Luffa flowers bloom in the morning, making them ideal breakfast for the bumble bees and wasps. There are nearly (or at least looks like) hundreds of bees and wasps having early breakfast in our garden.

One photo shows two bees eating together in the same luffa flower and that is unusual; it is too close for comfort. If two bees land on the same flower, either one will leave without a fight; with so many flowers available, there is no need to fight for a meal.


Their table manner is more or less the same, 埋頭苦吃 (burying the head and eat attentively and continuously.
