Drawing Nectar. Honeybee, Apis mellifera, on Geranium versicolor, Pencilled Geranium, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Those 'flower lines' on the petals of Geranium versicolor are a kind of road sign for insects directing them to the pollen and nectar of a particular plant. It's always fascinating to watch those insects, in this case a Honeybee. Look only at its proboscis delving deeply to draw nectar from our Pencilled Geranium.
