Cheating Honey Bee

Evening primrose is designed to be pollinated by moths with long tongues. I watched the honey bees trying to get to the nectar in the usual way but obviously without success. They soon learned that they could get the rewards by chewing a hole through the top of the flower into the nectaries. Smart bees!
