Last Orders?

Despite it being mid-November the Mahonia in the garden is in full bloom and buzzing with insects. The most abundant are the two shown here, the honeybee (in flight) and the common drone fly (Eristalis tenax). The hoverfly is a honeybee mimic and this shot provides a comparison between it and the real thing.

 

I wonder how long it will be before the nectar runs out and the flying insect season comes to an end.
