Bee Hives made from Flower Pedals

Turkish Bees (Osmia (Ozbekosima) avoseta bee in Turkey) make nests using flower pedals.

Jerome Rozen/American Museum of Natural History

Looks like something Eco-Artist and Botanical Alchemist India Flint would have thought of.

See more pictures and read about these bees here.
I continue to be amazed at life on earth.
