User's notes
the bees were struggling to find flowers that they could access and im not sure how much pollen they were able to access whilst hanging precariously at the bottom of the long narrow green flowers. i was surprised as I believed these style of flowers were suited to insects with long probosces, but maybe that just applies to nectar gathering
