Hi Susan. You’ve seen how fast they fly and how erratic they are. It’s pretty much impossible to see their tongue without stopping the action with a camera.
Bumble bees are specialists. Among all bumble bee species , those with long tongues seem to be be most in decline, because climate change puts deep-corolla flowers at a disadvantage.

I’ve never seen this before. Interesting!
Thanks, Rebecca. They fly around so fast and erratic, it’s hard to see their tongue.
You got some excellent photos of it.

Wow, Tim. That’s a new one for me! Also, beautiful images… 🙂

At least one half of the whole is good. The kitties send their greetings.
This one made me giggle. The tongue looks more like a beak, so I’m glad you explained.
Thanks, Susan. It is beak-like.
Wonderful macros. This honey bee’s tongue is news to me. Thanks for teaching me something. These shots are stunningly beautiful.
