Visiting the garden found this Black Bumblebee on Cosmos Flowers. Flying from one flower to another, foraging for nectar and getting pollen.

The bumblebee is normally very fast and not easy to capture, but it stayed for a moment this time.

Note the bug or insect also trying to hide on the flower petals below.
