Ball of Pollen, Pt. 2 - _TNY_9750
This super-cute little guy is a plasterer bee, either a bare-saddled colletes (Colletes similis) or a Davies' colletes (Colletes daviesanus) on a ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare).
It appeared to like this particular flower very much and allowed me to handle the flower quite a lot and angle it to my liking for the best angles without leaving which was unusual, but since this was during my near magic day at Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park when everything seemed to work, I guess it was par for the course.
