Sluggish bee

09 Oct 2019 144
Yesterday it got warm again, into the upper teens (like about 65F), after a week or so of cold weather and even a little frost in some areas. So we saw hundreds of bees, mostly on tansy ragworts, like these flowers. But without exception the bees, despite being face and eyes into the polllen, were moving in slow motion. Like Joe MacDonald, I guess, they felt like they were fixin' to die.
