The Eastern Bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) is known to have slumber parties on the flowers they visit. This one was stationary on these asters for so long that I realized I could go inside and fetch my camera and it would still be there on the same flower --- et voilà! Sluggish indeed!
Apparently males don't return to the hive so are driven to find warmth near the flower's center.
