Amidst the vibrant hues of a European vineyard in Baden-Wuerttemberg, the Smeathman's Furrow Bee (Lasioglossum smeathmanellum) diligently harvests nectar from a field of Lacy Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), also known as Scorpion Weed. This annual herb, with its distinctive purple flowers, attracts a multitude of pollinators, including honey bees (Apis sp.), who eagerly cling to its blooms in search of sustenance. Planted as a green manure or cover crop, Phacelia's nutrient-rich roots enrich the soil, preparing it for the next vine harvest. Across the Atlantic, the Blue-Eyed Scorpion-Weed (Phacelia distans) adds a splash of color to the desert landscape of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, attracting pollinators essential for the ecosystem's balance.
