Hilarious! I hear ya catmint!

No, it's essentially regular animal and/or insect style--the girl bee is busy nectaring with her head buried in the flower and the male pounces on the end that's sticking out and kind of immobilizes her in the flower. Once, I saw him pull her right out of the flower and they fell.
It's hard to photograph well because they are always in the deeper flowers or so it seems.
