Similar to honeybees, they have hairy legs that provide a surface for pollen grains to stick to. Bumblebees gather pollen on their hind legs, and the grains accumulate, cre

Bees are essential to the health of an ecosystem. A foraging bee packs pollen into tight pellets on its hind legs and then secures it with nectar. It’s an ideal home-delivery meal for the new spring bees back at the hive. #WorldEnvironmentDay 🎥A Bee's Diary | Smithsonian Channel
