Summary[edit]

Description
English: Anthophora dufourii Lepeletier, 1841 (Det. Achik Dorchin 2012), male collecting nectar and pollinating Salvia hierosolymitana, Mount Carmel, Israel, April 10, 2012. Many Salvia species deploy a staminal lever mechanism: when a bee probes the flower for nectar, the stamens are lowered to deposit pollen on the bee's back. Note that the front leg of the bee is amputated.
עברית: זכר של דבורה מהסוג מדרונית אוסף צוף ומאביק פרח של מרוות ירושלים, הכרמל, 10 באפריל 2012. הפרח מפעיל מנגנון של מנוף: כשהדבורה תוחבת את ראשה למצוץ צוף מהפרח, אבקני הפרח מפזרים גרגרי אבקה על גב הדבורה. שימו לב שהרגל הקדמית של הדבורה קטועה.
