That collecting is not so simple.I was sitting on a log and in front of me was a patch of grass with twenty flowers on it. 15 bees were circling around from flower to flower. Did not stay long on any for there was no more nectar. I'm an old man so I had time to watch for about an hour. That is not stupid it just shows that every thing has limits,even the bee brain.
