Description
These guys arrived shortly after sunrise to be among the first to collect from this recently bloomed poppy.
Poppy flowers come in a variety of colors and are prized for the beauty they bring to the landscape. In several states, various species of poppies are planted along the sides of highways for erosion control, for example, the red corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Although the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) has the highest concentration of narcotics, all poppies in the Papaver genus do contain some amount of narcotic.

What an incredible shot. Poppies are some of my favorite flowers. I also love tulips, but these bees have simply gone gaga for the nectar inside! Beautiful and incredibly unique shot. Love it! :-) Maggie
