There are several #allium #umbels (or #onion #flowers) which are blooming at present. They give local #bees a handy place to feed.

Here is a #BumbleBee. The first one is #yellow and #stripy whereas most local varieties have one #orange part to their #abdomens.

The second is what may be a a #HoneyBee.
