Another super, late-Summer plant for pollinators. Love the color and detail on this bee’s back. Really get a good look at the distinguishing markings.

Honeybee on a Caryopteris
I shot this one at the Ogden Botanical Gardens, too. Neat tongue on this one. This particular flower is wonderful for pollinators. Bumbles, honeybees, and lots of varieties of butterflies seem to flock to it. It blooms in late summer and early fall here in the Rockies and, at least here, just teems with them in the afternoon.
