A cerana foraging on flowers on a Chinese Tangerine (Citrus spp, Rutaceae). I was very lucky to see bees foraging on this tree. All the normal trees had finished flowering by May last year. But my uncle had moved this tree to the front of his house, delaying the flowering by about 2 weeks and also enabling me to see bees foraging that day! May 4, 2002. Shaoshan, Hunan, China (Zach's home town).
