These bees seem to be working intently in this sunflower. They probably don’t know that while they are gathering nectar, they are helping to pollinate the little individual florets that will eventually grow seeds. Every seed needs to be pollinated and there can be around one thousand seeds in an average sunflower depending on the size and variety.

It seems like it takes dedication on the part of the bees to help sunflowers grow.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Psalm 136:1

Sometimes to achieve good things it takes peaceful dedication to keep going.
