A Visitor from Australia

The Blue banded bee is said to be a native of Australia. I see them quite often among my flowers. They start work very early in the morning and continue till sunset. You can see one near the amaryllis in the photo above.
The bee gathers pollen , which is full of nutrients.
Then it enters another amaryllis flower and pollinates it.
Whether it is a native of Australia or India, I am happy to see the industrious Blue banded bee in my garden.
This is my contribution to Nick's Floral Friday.
