Nectar gatherer

My patch of scabious was literally covered in bees so had to watch myself whilst taking this pic as am highly allergic. I have to go to hospital for at least 6 hours if i get stung. 
Isnt scabious just the most terrible name for such an exquisite flower.
Beautiful day here after the rain.  Hard to believe we are now into November, 8 weeks and Christmas will be over
