Pollination



 If you look closely at these images of a Honeybee and the Meadow Cranesbill you will see how important the bee is to pollinating the plants and flowers. You can see the tiny grains of pollen dusting the back of the bee, clinging to its hairs and also on the petals and the stamen of the flower.

The other thing I want to comment on in the first picture is the bees wings, they are shiny and clear but in some of the "panes" there is a small pattern. I call them "panes" because the wings look like stained glass or leaded  windows. So delicate and beautiful.
