Bumblebee on Pontederia flowers

Bumblebee on Pontederia flowers
These flowers are very popular with several species. Today this small bumblebee was working on them. The bee is about 12 mm long.

It is Pontederia cordata or pickerelweed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontederia_cordata I bought two plants (white and purple flowers) in pots from a nursery about 20 years ago. Now they surround our big pond. This morning Garip chased a muskrat from within these plants at one side of the pond, and the muskrat swam to the plants at the other side.
