Pollen beetles in daffodils

As soon as the weather warms up, the pollen beetles appear. You can just see the black shapes inside these flowers. They're particularly attracted to yellow flowers - the senecio greyii will be covered in them.

I didn't realise until now that they damage oilseed rape - they grow a lot of it around here.
