I wonder if anyone could help me please. My two Deltas Sarahs are being attacked. They have brown drill holes in the top of the bloom, which I presume is being caused by a pest, but I can't see anything. Bees are constantly visiting the holes too? The blooms are dying quickly. Would be very grateful for any advice. Photo attached.

This may seem a little unlikely, however it's well known in the bee world, bees sometimes chew through parts of flowers to get to the nectar when their access to any nectar is restricted. It's not a pest, it's just the bees doing what they do naturally.
bumble bees do this to my bladder Campion to get easy access to the necteries. possible the same culprit?
