| Golden Northern (aka Yellow) Bumble Bee. As you may have seen in some of my other Palmisano posts, this is a threatened species of bee and is a sign palmisano is a high-quality prairie |

 |
| Bzzzzzzzzzzz...... |

| Confusing Bumble Bee, a species I have seen maybe a few time before, if ever. So cool! |

| Yet another monarch! |

| A very cute and tic-tac-shaped Two-spotted Bumble bee. The two spots are actually negative space when seen from the top. When drawing bumble bee abdominal patterns, you have yellow (plus a bit of red, brown, and white) paint and a black canvas |

| Dancing bumbler! |
 |
| That Black-eyed Susan barely has any pollen nectar bits stuff left on it |
