Passers-by

I was working today so our visitors did their own thing. 
I did catch this bee and bumble bee passing each other by on the sea holly quite happily. I used my new flash for this shot. I was surprised to learn from our guests that they don't have bumble bees in Australia. When I have visited it hadn't struck me that they are not around. 
Also, did you know that bumble bees used to be called humble bees (because they hum) but the name changed over time and when Beatrix Potter called them bumblebees in her stories they became generally referred to by that name.
