Fuzzy horned bumblebee clamoring out from leaf litter along trail at Lord Hill Park.
Pollinating several orchids. The black velvet helps me find pollenia if they fall off the toothpick.
The Galapagos Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa darwini) is the only bee occurring in the Galapagos archipelago and is an important pollinator. It selectively visits yellow to cream-colored flowers and has therefore strongly selected for plants with these flower colors within the Galapagos flora.

It’s hard to exaggerate just how poplar these Small-fruit Hakea (Hakea microcarpa) were with pollinators. This squat shrub, growing on the side of the road, was absolutely teeming with life! [Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW]

Project 7 x 52: Pollinators. I found dozens of varieties on a just a few plants in the Peace Garden in Bear River.
These tiny beetles were all over the orchids on Mount Mitchell. I wonder if they are just stealing nectar or actually contributing to pollination. They seem too small to be pollinators for these flowers. It was getting dark, the batteries in my flash had died, and the pop-up flash just doesn't work for macros, so I was having quite a challenge to get a picture. Had to crank up the ISO and most of them were blurry. This was the best of the bunch.
My passionflowers are blooming again! No, I did not plan for them to mingle with the milkweed, but I rather like the effect!
A variety of insects crawling through the flowers of an elder bush shortly after rainfall.
I wonder if any of those insects will act as pollinators?
De reuzenbalsemien (Impatiens glandulifera) is afkomstig uit de Himalaya, vooral uit Tibet en ook uit India. Vanaf 1915 is de plant in Europa als invasieve soort gaan verwilderen.

This photo was taken on October 16, 2021 in a pollinator garden. It shows a bumblebee on an echinacea flower. The relationship between the bee and the flower shown in this image represents an example of mutualism. The bee is attracted to the flower’s bright color and lands on it to gather nectar and pollen to take back to its hive. The flower has evolved to attract the bee because the bee will spread its pollen to other flowers, allowing the plant to reproduce. It is important to note that mutualism is not generosity, both the bee and the flower are involved in this mechanism because they get something out of it.
This image is applicable to UN SDG 15, Life on Land. The flower shown is part of a pollinator garden planted for bees and other pollinators. The pollinators and the pollinated benefit from this garden, and it increases the ecosystem value of the area. As stated in the UN literature, this kind of managed and protected wildlife area supports healthy ecosystems and healthy communities.
We only have two pollinators up here in the North .. these furry Bumblebees, and a litle fly, which has learned over the eons to look and behave very much like a bee. No Honeybees. Here, amid a field of Fireweed, our pollinator is resting on a burnt Spruce tree, drying out in the cool air after a major rainshower.
