Another day near the lavender bush.
![bumblebee lavender garden 3.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ewkaw/szJpNept-bumblebee20lavender20garden203.jpg)

There is something so calm and relaxing watchin those little creatures work. 

> I like work; it fascinates me. 
I can sit and look at it for hours.

And so I sat there near the bush, about 50 cm away from them and was just shooting. They were so focused on their task that did not even get scared when I got up. 

Most people would think that bees and bumblebees are mean and dangerous and would just wait to sting you. I would only think this way about wasps and hornets and with those I am careful. But bees and bumblebees are so patient and friendly that there is nothing to worry about. If you do not try to scare them or annoy by poking a flower, they will not pay any attention to you. They are too busy collecting food. They are on a mission!

The bumblebees that were visiting this lavender bush were the most adorable. Big, furry and relatively slow. The part of the garden is very quiet, away from the street and houses so they had peace and quiet (expect me staring at them of course.)

There were few types of bees showing as well. I believe that those grey ones are **Miners bees**. They are more furry, smaller and faster than the regular brown in colour honey bees.

And there is no problem in sharing. On sunny days I was able to count the few types of bees, bumblebees, hoverflies, few types of butterflies and a moth.
Here with a **Painted Lady** butterfly.

I love bees. Since I was a child I learned that they don't attack you but you annoy them first.

that's how I learned it. one prodded me as she thought I was attacking her. And then my father took me to the center of a honeycomb so that I would realize that if I don't attack first them they won't.

Lovely photos! Making me wish we could grow lavender here! Very few bees to be seen around here! But at least we have butterflies!

Lavender looks very beautiful in photographs (and not only).
The photo is just super.
And I really like insects in the photos!
I just love bees!
