Busily Bumbling

I've got an old birdhouse that fell to the ground. One day I went out to re-attach it to a fence-post, and noticed lots of bees were zipping in and out.

 

Currently, the area around the birdhouse is a little overgrown, because whenever I get too close with the lawn mower, the bumblebees form a buzzing cloud of defense all around.

 

When they're not defending the chickadee house they're flopping in, they're buzzing around the rhododendron bush.

 

I believe this is called a "Black-Tailed Bumblebee."
