We had 12mm overnight and it was overcast. The everlastings had yet to open for the day. It seems highly likely that the bees roosted on the flowerhead overnight. They were immobile when first seen and remained so even with close attention. I found several other sets of three bees and one of a lone bee on other sticky everlasting flowerheads within about 50m of the ones above.
