Yesterday I was in my garden and a hummer buzzed by me to get to my salvia. There was a huge bumble bee on one of the flowers. The little hummer attacked the bee and gave it a good work over. The hummer continued to pound the bee with it's beak until the bee actually fell down to the ground(it then got up an flew away). The hummer went on its merry way feeding. I'd never seen this action in a hummer before.
