I took these photos of the bees who came on our deck to drink the nectar. I got this plant flowers of which attract the hummingbirds, butterflies and other insects. In most of the pictures, you can clearly see the bee tongue extended out to drink the nectar.

The Anise Hyssop plant that they are feeding on is one of the best nectar plants in my garden for both bees and butterflies. Really nice close ups!
