SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I updated the caption. It is a European bee (Apis mellifera) extracting nectar from a Maonia flower - Mahonia aquifolium using its trunk. Small hairs that cover the bee's body maintain a slight electrostatic charge, causing pollen from the flower's anthers to stick to the bee, allowing pollination when the bee moves to another flower.
