I haven't seen any honey bees in the garden but I have had a few bumble bees... these two visited an hour or two apart... I think the smaller one went back to the hive & told her bigger sister where the food was at! They were actually the same colour, it's just the sun was out when I took the pictures of the little bee:


You can't really tell how much bigger the secon bee is from the overhead shots, but from the side you can see how much of her abdomen was curled under:

She was about twice the size of her "baby sister" and had trouble getting the little viola flowers to support her, the flowers range from 3/4" to 1 1/4" tall.
