This is a moth, I think, called the hummingbird moth. Don't know the
scientific name. But they're very interesting to see, aren't they? they do
look like a bumblebee with an elongated back end. And they behave with
flowers just like bumblebees do. As for the honeybees, I would think you
should have them all over. Unfortunately the honeybee population has been
decimated by disease and they are becoming a rare sight. I seem to be seeing
a few more this year than last, but we're talking about seeing 3 or 4 instead
of 1 or 2 per day.
