Western Honey Bee

Apis mellifera

Description:

The honey bees seemed to love these Chinese Bushclover (Lespedeza cuneata) flowers. Read more about Chinese Bushclover here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/574...

Habitat:

Spotted in an open & previously cleared/disturbed lot between industrial complex and uncultivated wetlands/drainage area.

Notes:

There are actually some studies that suggest this invasive plant is out-competing native species for pollinators' attention. Read about it here: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/...
