So who's right, Bjorn, I do hope you plan on giving us an answer:). By the way, I only see 11 HB's and 2 butteryflies, and a moth:)

Great picture, an entire world on one flower head. I didn't even try to count.
Those who can't see the butterflies are looking too close.:)

As many as you see.

Not really sure myself. I had counted 12 prior to taking the picture, but the bees were coming and going at a good clip. The flowers were literally a couple feet from entrances to some nucs.
Does anyone know if collecting seed from the joe pye (sp?) flowers is possible? I would like to plant some in other areas around the property but not sure how to propogate them.

Running out of digits on my hands, now moving to my toes.
You hives must be in a flood plain, as around here Joe Pye likes low land, similar to conditions for Purple Loosetrife. You have pontoons as bottom boards, just in case?
Nice photo, Bjorn.
