This evergreen shrub is now native to Georgia, though originally from China and was brought over by boat a long time ago and some how got into the wild and established itself. Its been here for a long time as it was also collected by the Lewis and Clark Expedition back in the 1800s. The bees love it, honey bees, mason bees and even pollinating flies so however it got here the bugs love it.

The bees latch on to the flowers and work around to find the best ones to drink and collect pollen from.

I am surprised by how many honey bees I see on these plants, and usually knock off the remaining flowers till there are none left. The plant usually flowers during the frost, and a week or so before the bees show up. So its possible its just that time for the flowers to fall off.

Its funny seeing them work upside down, as if gravity is not an issue to them. Maybe due to their weight its not a problem. You can also see some of the little fruits of the Mahonia forming, so I guess its not a problem for these flowers to get knocked off then.
