Clematis tangutica, also known as the golden clematis, produces stunning clusters of bell-shaped yellow flowers in late summer and features fluffy seed heads that add interest to the garden long after the blooms have faded.

Beekeepers often develop a deep bond with their bees, as honeybees can recognize human faces, allowing experienced beekeepers to interact with their hives without aggressive reactions.

Some flowers have evolved ultraviolet patterns, invisible to human eyes but visible to bees, which act as "landing strips" guiding bees directly to their nectar and pollen.
