Notes
Full frame from 35mm transparency. Additional description: the Honey Bee does not possess a long enough proboscis to collect honey via the plants long bell-shaped flower and has bitten a small hole (visible in image) through the base of the flower in order to access the sweet reward - however, the plant derives no benefit as the pollen-bearing stamens within the flower are bypassed.
