   Normally when I see these sleepy friends interacting with each other, they're very slow and gentle. This morning, I think I witnessed a tussle, where two seemed to do some irritated buzzing at each other, and wrestle for a moment before one flew off. The other preened for a moment on the edge of this flower before flying away itself.
