(May 4th William number of Plants) 1863 1 (1)

May 1864 I repeatedly saw 2 kinds of Bombus sucking short-styled & foreheads above base of proboscis white with pollen of long-stamen as flower not widely expanded this wd get on tall stigma though not on head.— I presume bees force pollen down or own stigma of short-style — Pollen from long-styled wd be carried in proboscis to stigma of short-styled.
