Collecting nectar

I spotted this buff-tailed bumblebee at work on top of thread-leaved tickseed.

The bright yellow flowers of thread-leaved tickseed are a real pleasure for the eye to look at and also very much appreciated by bees and butterflies as a rich source of nectar.

Dutch name : Aardhommel op Meisjesogen
German name : Dunkle Erdhummel auf Mädchenaugen (auch Schöngesicht genannt)
Latin name : Bombus terrestris / Coreopsis verticillata
