Dance with Bees - Chicory Flowers - Part 1steemCreated with Sketch.

in WORLD OF XPILAR3 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone.
Another Photo Series with Bees and Flowers.
Previous Dance with Bees was with Cucumber flowers.
You can check it here Part 1 and Part 2

Chicory flowers are beautiful and these photos were taken in the morning. Bees start to collect pollen and nectar early in the morning. With first Sun rays in morning Bees start to visit flowers. Bees will find almost all flowers and inspect them. It is interesting and beautiful to watch them come to the flower and going up and down through the flower and get pollen all over its body. On the legs you can see pollen that they collect. It is on their legs and they take it to hive and store or use it there. So depending on the flower type there are different pollen colors. On these photos there is white pollen on their legs. Previously on Cucumber flowers there was yellow pollen - they can get yellow pollen from other flowers not only Cucumber as well as they can get white pollen from other flowers.
Interesting is that they spend more time on some flowers than other ones. Reason is that if there is more pollen and nectar bees will stay longer to collect it.
Bees repeat these visits all day until Sunset.
Enjoy.
