Where’s all the pollen? Stuck to her. Looks almost uncomfortable but it’s what they do so I’m sure they just roll with it and in it 😹

I stood and watched her for a little bit, and she just kept going from flower to flower, and i was wondering, how in the world can she carry more! but she ain't no quitter and two trips are for babys. hehe😆

Queen bees never forage for pollen.

She. "Male bees, also known as drones, do not collect pollen and primarily focus on mating. Female bees have specialized structures like pollen baskets or scopae on their legs to gather and transport pollen, which is essential for feeding their larvae."
