They actually prefer poor, dry soils, but will thrive in almost any soil provided it is well drained. Damp, soggy soils will cause the plant to rot. They like full sun but will tolerate some shade, and they generally require no watering at all except in periods of drought

of this very LARGE Bumble Bee

But it probably didn't notice me anyway 

as it enjoyed this bed of Sedum and feasting on the nectar.

Scientific Name: Bombus spp.

What Do Bumblebees Look Like?

Bumblebees are large, fuzzy, very hairy insects that are black and yellow colored or in some species orange or red. Size varies by species but adults may be up to a little over one inch long. They differ from carpenter bees, which have a solid black, shiny and hairless abdomen. Bumblebees have a large structure on their hind legs known as a pollen basket that is often loaded with pollen collected by foraging adults. Female bumblebees have a stinger and a pointed abdomen, while males do not have a stinger and have a rounded abdomen.
