Hey, someone else's mom does this too! Mine was gone for several days this week and suggested several things to do with my father that would keep us out of the house (and out of her garden). It didn't work though - he still managed to get into the closet and rearrange things. Which he still thinks of as tidying. (He does get points for vacuuming everything.)
I don't know, but we were pointing at it, and getting up in its face. It was like, so long as I've got my yummy, yummy pollen I don't care. I don't think it even noticed us, to be honest!
I'm... kinda glad Bee didn't follow us home this time.
Meanwhile that is a huge bee! And lovely flowers.
The bee was huge, and also camera shy. It kept flitting to flowers I couldn't see.
