Gleaming for Nectar. Honeybee, Apis mellifera, on Centaurea cyanus, Cornflower, Shaffy's Tuin, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
For a few years to get to Shaffy's Tuin from where we live, I'd have to make a nasty detour through the station and alongside the railroad tracks. Now that the new building for Booking.com is almost completed the pleasant foot- and cyclebridge to that part of town has been re-opened.
The day was bright as I watched Honeybees on Cornflowers. Here's one that's apparently gathered pollen; see the pollen basket on a leg with that pale stuff. But she's now seeking nectar deeper within flower. Eye gleaming in the clear Sun.
