A honey bee flits about the garden, stopping eagerly to taste some nectar.

As she moves from an arrowwood blossom to a bloom of the Leucanthemum flower, you can see pollen dusting her head and hind legs. She is taking in the nectar and, in the process, she is also gathering pollen from the male parts of the flower.

On the pictures there is the Leucanthemum vulgare plant growing in my garden.
