I got some photos of a bumble bee on my Rose of Sharon and my Zinnia.

Your blooms are so pink, it makes the bumble bee stand out. The two of you worked well together, I must say!

The photos were taken just after a (short) rain shower. You can see the drops of rain on the Rose of sharon.
I took my EpiPen out with me, because I am highly allergec to bee stings. I totally quit breathing after I was stung 2 different times. Was rushed by paramedics to hospital three different times. Bees are one of the very few things I am afraid of. I now carry my own EpiPen kit with me.
