Fritz has repeatedly explored the subject of pollination by bees. He created the present motif, a detailed view of a blossoming apple tree and three bees in search of nectar and pollen, both as a lithograph and as an oil painting. Fritz has thus anticipated the subject of bee mortality, which is increasingly preoccupying both agriculture and biodiversity.
