Delving into Yellow. Anthophora plumipes, Hairy-footed Flower Bee, in Yellow Clary, Phlomis fruticosa, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

            It was still quite cold... This Hairy-footed Flower Bee (see Bernhard Jacobi commenting below), laden with pollen, brought to mind something I read recently about the body temperature of Bees. Scientists have discovered that the heavier their pollen load, the higher their body temperature rises. In warm weather that can lead to the heat exhaustion of our woolly friends. No fear of that yesterday in the Hortus where Hairy-footer was garnering nutrients from under the hood of Yellow Clary.
