Bumblebee enjoying Rowallane

I'm just back from my blogging break and thought you might like to see this Irish bumblebee working a rhododendron in Rowallane Gardens in Co Down, Northern Ireland. Rowallane is a wonderful sight at this time of year and even though the bumblebees risk their health working rhododendrons (in excess the nectar can poison them), they do so with gusto.
