The Wool Carder Bees were nowhere in sight today so these Bumble Bees could take their time foraging without any concern of being dive-bombed.

Hanging Bee
No woopsy moment here... no slip, no fall.
This bee was intentionally hanging from the False Indigo for about 20 seconds while it took its time cleaning itself.
Such amazing strength and grip.
A few more photos of Bumble Bees on the False Indigo next.

A bee working hard for that honey! Flowers are our native Baptisia australis or Blue False Indigo #honeybee #baptisiaaustralis #bluefalseindigo #bloomscrollong
A native bee entering into the flower petal of Baptisia australis accesses pollen and nectar.
As the bee enters and exits, pollen is interchanged with the bee from flower to flower.
Baptisia is related to the pea family. It has 5-petaled flowers. Upper = banner petal, two lower petals spreading (wings), two interior petals (keel). Inside the keel are the flower’s reproductive parts.
As the bee exits, the flower returns to a closed position.
Interconnection of native plants (Blue False Indigo) and pollinators. Baptisia has 5-petaled flowers. Upper = banner petal, two lower petals that spread (wings), and two interior petals (keel). Inside the keel are the flower’s reproductive parts. #baptisiaaustralis #nativebees
