Okay, it’s not really a tongue! It’s a proboscis, yes? But I’d not seen a forked one before, and I certainly didn’t notice it while I was making this, so it was a little surprise when I looked at the image at home. I looked it up and there are bees with this type of proboscis out there. The other possibility, of course, is that there is a bit of pollen on the the proboscis that causes it to appear forked. I’m hoping that’s not the case. No matter, I still like the image of this little guy!
