Die Biene bekommt Besuch.

Das ist ein unerwartetes Foto. Ich war dabei die Biene mit dem Makroobjektiv zu fotografieren und dann kam diese Ameise hoch gekrabbelt.

The bee gets a visit.

This is an unexpected photo. I was about to photograph the bee with the macro lens and then this ant crawled up.

The #Norwaymaple #Acer #platanoides is a native #tree of (Central) #Europe that spread northward after the last #IceAge along with mixed oak forests and is still commonly found in such #treecommunities today. Like all #trees, it offers #habitats for numerous organisms, forming complex macro#ecosystems, e.g., the #leaves, where #aphids feed, while the #ant #Formica #fusca is collecting their excretions (honeydew) as food.
