I got the vase for free. It's part of set of 3 glassblown art vases. Got them from a free pile from local estate clear out, a few years ago. I'm good at scoring lots of #freebies & rarely buy anything new.
Seems likely they are more "flighty" in the spring and early summer when the flowers are a bit sparser. But if you're patient you'll eventually come across one feeding calmly.

Pink, purple and blue flowers all out in the garden today.
Very windy but a red tailed bumble bee is still out feeding on the chive flowers #BloomScrolling#bee#flowers
#Jasmine is blooming again. We keep them indoors for 3/4 of year & move outside for late Spring-Summer. Good indoor natural air purifying #plant. Flowers are #edible & used to make tea & fruits used in #Chinese#TraditionalMedicine.
The male has golden hair and a yellow face, the female has a black face and a whiter coat.
They both have a very long tongue, a black and white striped abdomen, and a noisy buzz. Seen together feeding on a vitex tree - and occasionally getting into an argument - at @cowboycatranch
