Description
A golden california poppy being visited by a fuzzy black and yellow bumblebee. The bee seems so engrossed in its work that all we can see is its furry back.. California's state flower is the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica). In some parts of California, it covers the hills for miles.It is pollinate by numerous bees and flies, not the least of which is the amusing bumblebee. I enjoy watching their antic as they sometimes fight over which of them has pollination rights for a given flower. Sometimes they take turns, with one waiting until the other is finished before he takes his turn, But as night falls they find a place to take their rest. Some are so intent on doing their job, that they tuck themselves into a poppy blossom for the night.
