    Sure looks like a honeybee to me! I think that soon you may have a bunch of them pollinating your garden. Ours are out on sunny days--which are few and far between lately.
    We have some Tom Thumb daffodils, and the bees are going for them as well as the henbit.

    I'd say it's a honeybee too Donna. I've seen a couple here over the last few days which has really cheered me up. Now I can say that spring has, finally, arrived here in Scotland. :)

    It looks like a honeybee to me as well. I have never seen a honeybee in a daff before. Thanks for posting this piccy.
