That is weird!!  I've never heard of that flower before!            Ha-Ha, that would sure scare any bees away that might want to pollenate!!

To Jules:

Thank you and lol - it is indeed a really weird flower; here's some more information:
the plant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophrys_bombyliflora

the bee species concerned
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee#Solitary_and_communal_bees
namely Anthidium florentinum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthidium_florentinum

not the same as our European honey bee is Apis mellifera
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_honey_bee


Sorry for my late answer; I needed a holiday break after a long, overbusy period.

Have a great week!
