Thought I'd take an updated shot of my male bumble bee since I had the camera out. He's lost some luster but is still sweet looking imho. I'm really hoping I can get him and some of my pastels to breed and perhaps hatch out a killer bee or two next year.

Before: Taken November 4th of 2007


After: Taken July 17th 2008...oh and he weighs 1022 grams empty.
