Elecampane (Inula Helenium)

Inula helenium (elecampane) and Apis mellifera (western or European honey bee)

Elecampane is native to Eurasia, from Spain to western China, but has become 'naturalized 'in parts of North America. This healthy specimen is growing on the west coast of Canada. This plant's species name, helenium, refers to Helen of Troy.  Her abduction by Paris of Troy led to the Trojan War. In Greek mythology, elecampane sprung up from where her tears fell on the ground.

It's only fitting that this elecampane is being pollinated by another imported species, the European honey bee. Centuries of careful selection have created honey bees which produce far more honey than the colony needs, and beekeepers harvest the surplus honey. Honey bees are a multibillion dollar industry, used mainly as pollination services for commercial, monoculture crops. But these worker bees are obviously 'slacking off' and getting a taste of their distant homeland. I bet their babies love elecampane-flavored honey.

Happy Labour Day. Nice walk today, kinda quiet on the wildlife front. Still a wonderful morning to be out.
