Hylaeus - Moss Rose Flower - Colorful Flowers - Masked Bee - Animal India
A masked bee is covered in pollen while feeding on a Moss Rose flower (Portulaca grandiflora) in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 12, 2026. Hylaeus, also known as yellow-faced or masked bees, are small, solitary pollinators that transport nectar and pollen internally. They play a significant role as pollinators for native plants and serve as key ecological indicators. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
