As kids, we always called these creatures, bumble bees…
Now, Im told we don’t get bumble bees in Africa…only carpenter bees!!!
These pics were taken in a patch of Zinnia’s…in a place called Esigodini, (46km from Bulawayo…)

Cute stripey little gent 🙂
Apparently they sting, bad!
Our Bumble Bees are yellow striped. We had a dog who bit one and got stung. He dropped to the floor in anafalactic (spelling?) shock. Luckily he recovered but did not chase them anymore.
Shame man!! Dogs are always snapping at bees and flying things!
