With all our members being stung by insects this fall, I have stayed away from watering the plants during the daytime. Last evening when I went down to where the Sedum plants are, I noticed that the bumble bees were still on the blossoms. This was about 11 PM and the outside temperature had dropped to about 60 degrees. I had always thought that the bees would return to the nest when dusk arrived. They weren't moving at all until I started watering the plants. Even then they just moved a little. Not enough to be a problem. Prior to everyone being stung, I would just water the plant and ignore the bees. They never seemed to get upset about the water either. Are my bees tamer than most????
