Having nothing to do beewise I was gardening and stopped to watch the bees on the manuka bushes, I noticed that every single bee that visited collected nectar from a few flowers then visited some nearby plants that had wet leaves for a quick drink, not like a water collecting bee, then it would return to the manuka and stay there for about 7 minutes.
I have never noticed if they do this when foraging from other plants.
