Honey Bee and the Scabiosa Alba

All of this very warm, sometimes hot weather brings a lot of bees to the garden.

Just as I hoped, plant their food sources and the pollinators will come.

Here is a honey bee that just landed and crawled up onto one of the Scabiosa alba blossoms.

And here it is when I first saw it land on the blossom.

Its wings are still beating as it touches the top of a petal.
