Accidental Pollinator - _TNY_4465

Cuckoo bumblebees, like this Barbut's cuckoo-bee (Bombus barbutellum), doesn't primarily gather pollen as they instead take over a colony of another bumblebee queen, but when refuleing, like on this tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), some pollen is likely to stick to your fuzzy body.
