 a honeybee (Apis mellifera) on a white prickly poppy (Argemone polyanthemos)

Do you see the pollen packer on the hind leg?

Nice use of light and shade here, and the bee just captures the moment beautifully.....

Is that what they're called? Pollen packer. Wow. How come some bees sometimes are all covered in pollen, so much so that they seem to almost have trouble flying?
