Longhorn Bee Pollinating Prarie Cone Flower
Longhorn bee (Svastra) pollinating a prairie cone flower. These bees get their name because of their long antennae. I also like their name because I went to UT so my school mascot is a longhorn. Different species of longhorn bees pollinate sunflowers, squash, melons, wildflowers.
