The Buddleia bush is blooming, but butterflies are few. However, a few bees are finding the bush attractive. First, a small Bumble Bee was patiently making its rounds. These have been scarce in recent years, but seem to be returning.

A small green bee was also working the blooms. I have not observed this variety previously, but it may be what is known as a small green sweat bee. There are many varieties.
