A couple of bees perfectly napping in a flower. The bees sleep 5 - 6 hours in 24 hours period and many bees hold each other's legs as they sleep. Some native bees sleep in the flowers. (credit: Joe Neely)
I grew up raising sunflowers with my mom. She would wake my sister and I up in the morning before the sun really rose to see the bees sleeping. If you're gentle enough, you can pet their fuzzy patches.

For some reason it's never occurred to me that bees (or insects) sleep too.
