When I found out what kind of tree this was, I looked around the internet to see if bees pollinated the blossoms. Apparently, east of the Mississippi, Tulip tree blossoms are a big nectar source. Since I'm on the Oregon Coast I didn't expect the trees would even grow, but I was lucky enough to capture some shots and videos of bees not only visiting the blossoms, but one bee was 'dancing' to the rhythms of "Havana."

I didn't see any videos of bees on the Tulip tree blossoms, so this might have to be the first one.
