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.
