Orchid bees and Orchids has some of the most fascinating mutual symbiosis I have ever seen. An astonishing example of these highly advanced links between autotrophs and heterotrophs. Truly remarkable

Well, that was an information packed 8:50! I'm hooked on bees period but these orchid bees are so unique and beautiful..so fancy and evolved. You couldn't ask for a more exotically beautiful creature doing more beautiful work! To protect the environment is everything for these bees and all the creatures and plants they depend on and depend on them, including we overpopulated humans who take more than we give.

Very interesting. :)
