Busy Bees

 

When I was at the garden last Sunday, I was headed toward the hilltop viewing spot when I passed this huge toothpick cactus and noticed it had several blooms on it.  I decided to take a few photos of the blooms.

This was right before sunrise so the colors in these photos are quite muted.

When I zoomed in on the blooms I noticed that each one of them had lots of bees buzzing around.  Not just lots but literally hundreds of bees enjoying the flowers.

Obviously there is some very tasty pollen produced by these pretty blooms.
