...more from Beyond the Blossom!


This is one of those big black iridescent carpenter bees I mentioned in a previous post.  It’s amazing the way they literally dive into the middle of a squash blossom and roll around in the sticky yellow pollen that finally collects all over their bodies.  What a sight.  It appears the honey bees collect pollen in the same manner. They come out dusted as well.  I will put the images up in another post.
