I have witnessed bees entering sarracenia flowers in my UK garden,
presumably to pollinate. I remember someone once asking (it might
not have been on this list) if bees had to learn how to pollinate
flowers like sarracenias. I don't know the answer but bees I have
seen seemed to know what they were about. It was straight in...no
messing
