A Honeybee Resting on a Botanical Peony Bud
A honeybee pauses on the tightly wrapped bud of a pink peony plant inside a botanical garden. This outdoor scene depicts the close relationship between foraging insects and expanding floral buds.
Facts About Peony Buds and Pollinators
Peony flower buds produce a sweet sugary nectar liquid on their outer sepals that attracts ants and visiting honeybees. This natural nectar secretion does not harm the plant and helps keep competing insects away while the floral petals mature inside. Once a peony flower fully opens, bees collect rich yellow pollen from its abundant central stamens.
