While I love my sunflower/daisies, they are clearly also loved by the local honey bees. While not full sized sunflowers, they are quite large among the blossoms of late September/October, and are undoubtedly a treasure trove of pollen and nectar. A look at those huge pollen bundles on the rear legs of this lucky hunter - detail below - is proof of that! Also click on both pictures for a bigger view! Notice the shadow of the bee's wing on the yellow flower in the lower middle! - bottom detail picture.
