Gathering pollen

This bee (Andrenid sp. I think) was inside a small white rose so intent on gathering the pollen that no attempt was made to fly when I stuck my camera almost on the rose. I watched as the bee rolled and swept the pollen in an almost frantic act of gathering. Afterward, so laden with pollen was it that a landing was made on a nearby leaf (next photo).
