And after she left, the ants were milling all around every flower I saw her on and checking out all the pollen she knocked off.
She was a big one and I guess with the vines whipping in the wind they could not do their usual swarm. Not really sure, but that is the first time I have seen anything have success at that particular plant. I was really rooting for her. LOL She was not interested in the sticky pads, either. Just the pollen. She was really shoving herself up into them. Really aggressively. I found that interesting. Usually the carpenter bees just land on top of stuff and stick their beak through the side and get their pollen that way.
