Poppies produce abundant pollen, which is generally very dark in colour. Bumblebees and honeybees in particular seem to like it. Some reports suggest that poppies may have a bit of a narcotic effect on bees, someone in Germany noting that when his honeybees had been on poppies, they had trouble finding the entrance to their hive! Hoverflies also really like poppies.
