Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Judi, I'm jealous of the sight you saw! Butterflies are my favorite things in this world, and hummingbirds are right up there as well. I have these tiny hummingbirds that look like bees. They're nearly as small as bees, and they have these two yellow stripes across their tails. For a long time, I couldn't figure out if they were hummingbirds or bees. Do you have any like that?
