susurrus says: October 19, 2017 at 12:45 pm Reply I don’t think I’d be able to hang on in that position, let alone sleep that way, especially as flowers tend to sway on the breeze. I suppose bees must have special balancing on flowers skills. LikeLiked by 1 person
creativeartphoto says: October 23, 2017 at 4:03 pm Reply I guess so. I see bees sleeping in my bigger dahlias as well. Maybe they are just resting there. 🙂 Yesterday Monarch butterfly was enjoying one of my biggest dahlias as well. They are still around in my garden since many flowers continue to bloom. LikeLike
