A couple of days ago, I was out there looking around and doing a little fall cleanup. I kept hearing this buzzing noise and figured out that it was coming from the basil patch. Upon close inspection, I found there were hundreds of bees after the small basil flowers! Here are a couple of pictures I took of them.
This picture also illustrates the way the basil flowers grow. The plant puts up a long flower stem around which the flowers bloom. The flowers are not very big as you can see, but the bees appear to love them.
