Beautiful! I'm always so impressed when I see the beautiful flowers that cacti produce.
And thank you for posting the full picture as well. Very, very nice!

Great image, Baja. contrast of color & form. And besides just liking bees, they add
a way to gauge the size as well.
Do you have a pic of the whole plant?
Looks like he has a nice full head of hair.

Thank you all for the kind words and the acorns. I do love the hair on this cactus, and I got lucky with the bee already loaded with pollen. It was determined to go about its business no matter how many shots I took.
Here is the whole plant:
