A European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is observed positioned on the prominent yellow-green nectaries of a pale cream-colored Hellebore flower, actively engaged in a natural pollination or foraging action. Multiple Hellebore flowers in various stages of bloom, along with unopened buds, are present on a plant characterized by dark green leaves, some exhibiting variegation, and a network of thin, brown, gnarled branches and straight green stems. The scene is illuminated by natural light, with a clear blue sky and soft white clouds visible in the background, indicating an outdoor environment. The incident occurred in the Mate Yehuda Regional Council, Israel.
