Description
A lovely honey bee, Apis mellifera, performs a mini Cirque du Soleil show while gathering nectar. With her front legs she holds on to the tiny stigma while kicking her back legs for balance. One can see the tiny pollen on her legs as she has been working to collect nectar and pollen. In a few moments she will have a pollen sac emerge from the back leg and when she has captured enough nectar and pollen she will return to the hive.
