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

 

[YorkshireBees]

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!

 

[zubzub]

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.

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.

 

[tonybloke]

looks like a mallow?

Googled malllow, and it does not look like it to me

 

[MrB]

Another great pic, well done! and keep them comming

 

[Busybee123]

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!
