Thanks, Roger. Very interesting about the bird/flower setup. I'll check out the picture. I have noticed that European honeybees tend to push their way into the base of the flower.

This bee is still perched on the pollen presenter. The nectaries are at the base of the floret see picture in "Name that Flower' by the Lees. The flowers are adapted to bird pollination.
