Morning in the garden! See on black.

Bellevue, TN

I planted a few sunflowers rather late in August, and today I had a very cooperative bee who was not bothered at all by me taking a lot of pictures.

This bee, Osmia ribifloris (on a barberry flower), is an effective pollinator of commercial blueberries and is one of several relatives of the blue orchard bee, Osmia lignaria. Similar in appearance, the blue orchard bee is also a successful commercial pollinator. Photo by Jack Dykinga (2000).

Beatrice the honey bee demonstrates the correct way to gather pollen and nectar from the blossoms at Munyon Island near North Palm Beach, Florida. Native green bees, carpenter bees, leafcutter bees and several species of skippers also joined in.

Butterfly-pollinated flowers tend to be large and showy, pink or lavender in colour, frequently have a landing area, and are usually scented. Since butterflies do not digest pollen (with one exception), more nectar is offered than pollen. The flowers have simple nectar guides with the nectaries usually hidden in narrow tubes or spurs, reached by the long tongue of the butterflies.

Epipactis purpurata is pollinated almost exclusively by wasps. The orchid is quite attractive to them and they crawl over the plant with a bunch of pollinia attached to their head.
