Loefgren-bee

I was out snapping photos this morning and noticed a bee bouncing around in Pergolatory. He landed on P. loefgrenii and licked up the nectar from each and every petal and sepal. He revolved 360 around the corona until he was satiated then bubbled off. I don't see many bees here, and when I do, they're usually dead from the still unresolved affliction that their colonies have sustained lately.

You can see his tongue in the first shot.
