Busy little bees going about their business finding nectar and in the process pollinating plants. A bee with its head way into the trumpet of a hot pink calibrachoa flower and two more nectaring on the white flowers of Asclepias incarnata ‘Ice Ballet’. The yellow object on the leg of the bee on the right is a pollen basket, used to harvest pollen and carry it back to the hive for food for the colony.
