Is spring here?

The bumblebee seems to think it's spring, and I suppose the weather (with much rain) thinks it may be spring, but I can assure you that the temperature certainly doesn't.

Another month until spring is really here but I spotted a few bumblebees outside work today so made a 5 minute gap in my afternoon to pop out with my camera.

I just love the way bumblebee eyes look like leather. Weird. Makes you wonder how they can see out of them.

NOTE: Thanks so much to you all for sending yesterday's waxeye to spotlight. He enjoyed his flutter there.
