Bee on a sage (Salvia sp.) flower. The sage flower carries pollen on long stamens, which curl down from the upper parts of the flower to deposit pollen on the bee's back. This only occurs when the insect is of sufficient size. See clip K004 2261 for a small fly failing to trigger this mechanism. | |
