× ZBAS=Zach’s bee attraction score. (蜂叔)蜜蜂喜好指数，10=最喜欢。

Everyone has heard of “a flash in the pan”, which is used to explain that beautiful things are often too short to pass. But in fact, many people have not seen Lihua. Moreover, the indoor lotus flowers will bloom around 8 or 9 pm, peak at about 11 or 12 pm, and then close. So I guess there are not many people on this planet who see bees picking flowers. It is estimated that there may be wild coriander flowers in tropical places that bloom during the day? There is a greater chance of seeing bees like that. Our family has cultivated coriander flowers for about 17 or 18 years. They were given to us by our teacher Zhang Liying (deceased) and her husband Liu Xin (thank you again!). The first time I saw Yanhua, I drove to their house to see it, took a lot of photos, and then gave our house Yanhua. It took us three years to start flowering. Then it is opened almost every year, often 2-3 times, more than 10 times at a time, and up to 50 flowers a year. In recent years, it has been placed outside every summer in the past few years, but except that it was opened twice during the day in 2012, it is now blooming at night. I happened to be away that time, so insiders (thanks!) Took a few photos of bees. After the flower blooms, it hangs straight and we eat it (soup and scrambled eggs are fine!).

If you can persist in flowering during the day, you should be able to use the same dragon fruit in the Cactaceae family. Only flowering in the daytime, there are many bees collecting pollen (I estimate ZBAS reaches 9 or more).

蜂叔也有一个给昙花的诗， 诗云：

     被爱的昙花

    

    （2019-08-23）

白色的罗裙

极致的清纯

你不需要粉

或者是红

阵阵的香气

让人陶醉

可惜是晚上

没有小蜜蜂

来把你亲近

偶尔，

你的生物钟出错

会在白天盛开

那样的时候

小蜜们是多么的开怀！

五个小时后

你就把美景关闭

然后那个人

他那么爱你

不能继续眼睛来观赏

你就要被送到他胃里

因为上帝也说过

爱

就要两个成为一体

1. I haven’t seen a flash in the pan, Uncle Feng showed you a small movie. Thank you in about 50 seconds.

2. 2012.8.23. This lotus flower blooms during the day. I don’t remember why I was not at home.

3. Processing of the photo above. White has become black. . .

4. 2012.9.19. Another batch of lotus flowers blooms during the day. At 5 pm the bee came. I am still not at home. I used to go to see the red Lingjian lotus many times during the day. Are there bees? And this white lotus flower blooms during the day, I didn’t even see it! Thank you leaders for taking these pictures.

5. A lot of pollen on her!

6. It should be the same bee, and 6 photos were taken.

7. Add one.

8.Not particularly close. Exif said that it used a 105 mm macro
