You may find this interesting (see below).  Geebungs, snotty gobbles or
honeypot flowers belong to the macadamia not family (Proteaceae).  They are
visited by bees in several families but two sub-genera in the Colletidae
(Filiglossa and Claldocerapis) are Persoonia specialists and have two very
different ways of removing nectar from the same flower.  Cladocerapis uses
a notch in her head while Filiglossa has a... trick mustache.

Dear Peter,

The Persoonia Bee video can be found at

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6ppsk57iflcbvgd/AABhr_Vwl413cn6An_w_A8jYa?dl=0

All you need is a web browser and time to download the 72Mb file. It will
run with Windows Media Player. At the same location you will find higher
resolution copies of the photos I sent you.

Best wishes

Michael
