Photo of the Day: Bee sleepover



I came outside this morning to see the Mexican sage plant covered in sleeping bees.  There must have been ten of them.  Here's a pair, snoozing away.

Are they asleep, or are they high?

Is Mexican sage an hallucinogen?

Ray, it's not a hallucinogen. Bees are attracted to all kinds of sage, and they hang around on it a lot. They sleep there all night. I don't know what in particular the attraction is.
