Thought this to be neat!

If you look at the little green blob with yellow lines it a pollinator bee feeding. Spent a good while watching it work. The bumbles and honey bees are very happy with my sunflowers too.

Tiny lil booger! I love sunflowers.  Good source for bees, pretty to look at and to eat, if they are the eating kind.

I have acres and acres of wild sunflowers.  The seeds are very small, and the wold birds, dove, turkey and quail love the seeds.  I seldom see a bee on them.  They seem to have a host of native pollinators.

Some sunflowers the bees don't work?? I told the salesman at the seed co. that i wanted a sunflower that the bees work, i don't remember the type he sold me (an oil producing type i think?) but the bees like it and i do too, it reseed's it's self every year. Jack

lots of the hybridized ones are created for little to no pollen as for the flora market. I like the more naturalized that produce pollen and nectar. Always important to read about a new seed type your trying for this fact.

I have some large faced sunflowers planted for fall food for my bees. I was impressed with how much the bees loved these sunflowers in my daughters yard last year. Not only that sunflowers are such happy flower to grow, I love them
