This little bee was very adept at finding the pollen!

In case you wondered:

the bee was forcibly pushing open all of the flowers to get that pollen.

What a clean cut intriguing banner. At first glance it forces one to stare and try to figure it out. Thank goodness you explained the little rascal's actions. The full photo is beautiful.

That bee was far from stuck!

It really wanted in! It was fun watching the antics.

This banner was puzzling and beautiful at the same time, I am glad you explained the photo. I love this plant and did not even recognize it, what a great capture...I hope that bee took a nap after so much work!!!
