Bee collecting nectar

Bee collecting nectar
Blue banded bee, Amegilla, a native bee of Australia collecting nectar from a Salvia flower. The bee has learnt that it is easier to get to the pollen by punching a hole through the base of the flower rather than fighting its way up the funnel of the flower. Sadly it means the flower misses out on having its pollen dispersed by the bee.

What a beautiful sharp detailed image. I've seen bees doing this in my garden sometimes on very simple four petalled geraniums which are very easy to access in the usual way.

Thank you for your kind comments Jean. Oh, wonderful that you have observed this behaviour also. Bees are amazingly intelligent and its delightful to watch their antics.
