Postcard From Texas: Bees in Bushes
One morning driving to work in Austin I stopped for a red light and noticed to my left some bushes with lots of bees buzzing around. The next day I stopped by with my DSLR camera and shot this video. A week later all the blooms, and bees, were gone.
The bees are Western Honey Bees, also known as European Honey Bees (Apis millifera). The bushes are Purple Sage, also known as Cenizo, Texas Ranger, Texas Barometer Bush, Texas Silverleaf, Texas Sage and Silverleaf (Leucophyllum frutescens).
