Lovely picci. What flower is it and is it pollen the bee is covered in?
 
Great photo!

With the amount of work I have and number of hives to get through I miss having the time to take more photos!
 
Yes it is pollen and a weed in the back garden common willowherb I think,
But someone will prob correct me in due course lol.

:D
 
Lovely photo ZZ.not worthy

I don't know what the flower is, but it's not Rosebay Willowherb.
 
Nice photo.
No, it not willow herb, but if the bees like it that much i think you should upgrade it from a weed to a flower.
 
It looks a bit like Alcea Setosa, a member of the Hollyhock family (closely related to Malva, or Mallow).

Anyway, it's pretty and the bees like it - definitely worth cultivating! :)
