Bee Pollinating a Rose


This image captures a number of features of the pollenation process. These include, the collection of pollen by the bee on its hidlegs, the degree to which the pollen covers the animal, both sexual structures of the flower. Furthermore it is a nice visual example of the closeness of the interactions between insects and plants, and the color and composition are striking in my opinion. The image appears in the pollination article currently but would also be appropriate for other articles such as those on bees, stamens, pistils, roses, or coevolution. I took the photograph.

 * Support. Is that really a rose? And isn't it "pollinating" not "pollenating"? -- Lord Vold e  mort  (Dark Mark)  20:42, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
