Bumblebee on Globe Thistle

A bumblebee is feeding on a globe thistle flower head, clinging near the top of the spherical bloom. The thistle is violet-blue and the bee's yellow-and-black body contrasts with a soft out-of-focus green background; the frame centers the flower head with the straight stem visible below. You can see pollen dusted on the bee's thorax and fine white hairs along the stem.
