Shining oil digger bee - Centris nitida, its head deep into Angelonia angustifolia. A new feature for Bee Safari! Courtesy of a winter pollinator safari last week at the beautiful Bok Tower Gardens in central Florida. An underrated treasure of America for sure and not just for its winter bees. There are many butterflies too, oh yes, and a gorgeous tower.
