Attack of the Bees

So we have this white, flowering plant that must have an incredibly vivid scent to a bee. You see, for probably a week now, bees have been swarming to get the pollen. And we're not talking little bees that don't bother me, we're talking HUGE bumbles. These things are so big they look like furry yellow and black rodents with wings. Thankfully, this blogger likes to include pictures in each post meaning I put my life on the line so you could see what I was talking about. I mean, do you see the fur and those claws on his legs?

When I went out there, I think I spotted 5 of these and then another few that weren't so monster-ish in girth. I wish that I could have put my hand next to it for size reference, but the fear of bending down for a picture was enough for me!
