2011-12-26 The mysterious Pollen Bomb

Adrian, Jen and Charlotte came over just after Xmas, we had a bit of a picnic in the backyard...

While we were there, we noticed a single bee sitting on a fence paling, absolutely covered in pollen.
I don't know of any plant in our area that would have enough pollen on it to have this effect on a bee.
I've seen sunflowers that may have enough... if you nose - dived straight in and rolled around...but hey, this girl looks like she's been slapped in the face with a giant pollen pie...



You can actually see her hairy eyeballs in this one...
... the two hives in the blurry background ... 
  
... not her best angle...
... licking herself clean...


The Utter family.
