A lovely patch of Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) that has been blooming for three or four weeks now. Bees and butterflies have been enjoying the flowers. The patch is quite abuzz.

Quite the small butterfly, an Eastern Tailed Blue (Cupido comyntas), enjoying the nectar of the flowers.

Another butterfly, a bit larger than the Eastern Tailed Blue. A Cabbage White (Pieris rapae), is also dining on the nectar of the Thyme flowers.

Both nectar and pollen, is consumed by the Common Eastern Bumble Bee (Bombus impatiens).

And another to seek out pollen and nectar both, as it works away, the Confusing Bumblebee (Bombus perplexus).

All these pollinators, busy, busy at the Thyme, making the little patch of flowers buzz with busyness.
