Photographed in the Courtright Centre north of Toronto
in early fall, with the Teasel having lost most of its
blue nectar carriers.
but still containing enough nectar to attract a bee,
who rushes from one opening to the next
to suck out as much nourishment
as it can get.
and the pollen firmly attached to the "bee's knees"
In order to properly see the pollen
on the bee in the picture below
please click on the image to make it large.
The pollen adhering to this bee are clearly visible.
What a nifty way to multiply. But is it fun ?
