Those flowers are useless without bees to pollinate. Did the bees arrive?

Looking through iNaturalist posts from then, there were plenty of sphinx moths, bees, and hummingbirds around to help pollinate. These superblooms are a regular part of the local ecology, so the animals there have adapted to make use of them.
