The flowering season begins here in Germany. In each flower I find about ten black bugs. I think they eat the pollen grains and and pollinate the blossoms. Does anyone have the same problem and know the bug?

Hi Theo,
They look like Pollen Beetle said to be harmless but could
cause a problem if breeding!

Hello Ian,
Thank you for the information. Meanwhile I have so many flowers open that there are not enough Pollen Beetles to populate them . The problem is of minor interest for pollinating now.
