"Honey Bee"

Fascinating watching these bees collecting pollen. You can see the sacs on its hind legs are full. Most bees collect just pollen or just nectar on any trip, but a few carry both at the same time. The pollen is stuffed into hairy receptacles on their hind legs called corbiculae. A single bee can carry about half her own body weight in pollen.
