The shy pollinator

ID: Bee(Specific id help appreciated)

A usual contributor to the pollination cycle of nature, these bees are regularly seen drenched in tiny pollens, at some instances they get so much of them onto themselves that they take a break to clean themselves up as they tend to get bogged down by the extra stuffs on them. Here though there was a very interesting sight, where this bee got scared away by the tiny ant that seemed to have entered/climbed onto the flower. The bee flew off and though it attempted several times to get back onto the flower for the tasty treat, it just couldn’t stand off with the tiny ant and eventually decided to hop onto the neighbouring flower, probably a less fruitful one, as it, after a short moment, went off to search for a better flower

Interesting to see a bee can be careful when an ant is around it. Good details in the eye and head area. I think a bit less space the bottom and more on the top will help to get more focus on the bee. Thanks for sharing.

What is the top right black thing? That takes away our attention a bit. So less space at the top would strengthen the composition. Thanks for sharing.
