Bombus on the tall sunflower. I see a lot of pollen coming off of it too with all the yellow specks on the leaf below it.

A large yellow sunflower head with a small bumble bee on it in the morning sun. There is a very tall cottonwood tree and a bunch of hybrid willows beyond it.

The half-black bumblebees like the basil too.

Lots of basil. The near bed is the jalapeno and bell pepper bed and the far bed is all the Red Marconi sweet peppers. These closest basil plants are the lemon and lime ones and maybe the Thai basil in the very lower left.

A photo showing two raised garden beds. The near bed has California Wonder 300 sweet bell peppers, various types of basil blooming and making seed, eggplants, and some volunteer tomatillo that are about 6 feet tall on the far end. The other bed beyond it that has orange marigolds on the left side has Red Marconi sweet peppers and eggplants, and a white petunia. In the upper left is a sunflower that has just opened up and has a yellow center. The upper center right some runner beans can be seen with a birdhouse beyond them to their left.

The basil is full of honey bees, it's buzzing and smells great when I walk by.

The pansies are still blooming. I figured they'd be done once it warmed up, and then maybe when it got really hot, but they persist.

There's a big bumblebee on this one that sorta blends in.

A yellow and dark pansy with a yellow and black bumble bee which is probably a Nevada bumble bee. The petals on the pansy are chewed a bit. Photo taken August 5, 2025.

I was trying to get a photo of the little bees after I took photos of this big bumble bee but wasn't successful but I see I got a good picture of one with the bumblebee. I think it's a Ligated Furrow Bee minus it's usual coating of pollen but it has a little bit stuck to it. The big ones is a Brown-belted Bumble Bee Bombus griseocollis I think.

A large bumble bee on a pink bee balm flower and a very small black bee to it's right in flight. The small bee is about the size of the bumble bees face width.

The bee balm was busy with pollinators today, here's Bombus huntii.

A bumble bee on the Bergamot bee balm, and a few other pollinators too.

A photo highlighting a single pink bee balm flower in the center with a bee on the back left side. There are 3 other 'bees' in the background. Possibly a mason bee on the left that looks black and shiny, maybe another mason bee upper right, and a bumble bee on the very right edge.
