Mexican sunflower and visitor

My neighbor planted these brilliant sunflowers again because last year they attracted so many butterflies, but I’ve only seen one monarch this year and a couple of bees.

Scientists say that close to 33% of all the food humans eat, comes from the pollination of the bees. Take the bees out and we lose 33% of everything we eat! Nice shot BTW
