Apis mellifera an Salvia pratensis

Meadow sage Salvia pratensis is a perennial plant from the mint family and is native to Europe. Its flowers provide nectar and pollen, making it an important food source for pollinating insects. The Western honey bee Apis mellifera lives in large bee colonies and collects nectar and pollen to supply its colony. As it visits flowers, pollen grains can stick to its body and be carried to the next flower. In this way, the honey bee contributes to the pollination of meadow sage.
