Cactus Bloom, with Bees

Pictured below is the flower of the night-blooming Peruvian apple cactus (Cereus peruvianus), also featured in Bloom Time 3 on this website.


In that post I stated that the flower is pollinated by the nocturnal white-lined sphinx moth, which is true.  But, on this cloudy morning, the dancing honeybees also play their role.
