Sunflower with Bee - Macro Nature Photography
A honeybee works the disk florets at the center of a bright sunflower in macro close-up, the pollen-loaded back legs and translucent wings caught in mid-collection. Western honeybees pollinate roughly one-third of the food humans eat — the species was imported to North America in the 1600s, naturalized everywhere it could find flowers, and now does most of the commercial pollination on the continent. Sunflowers are an unusually rich resource for a bee: hundreds of individual florets per head, an open landing platform, and a steady summer-long bloom. Pollinator and crop caught in the exact moment of the relationship the rest of agriculture depends on.
