Did you know that a bee can carry its own weight in nectar and pollen? 🐝💪 And a bee colony is full of these hard-working little bees. It's easy to spot these worker bees when they are out and about foraging for nectar and pollen. Look out for their “pollen pants” – a large collection of pollen stored on their hind legs. #beefact #pollenpants #pollination | Flow Hive

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
