pollen basket

The pollen basket is on most of the hind leg.

The pollen basket of the species is located under its abdomen.

The pollen basket below the abdomen is bright red.

Drones have thinner hind legs that do not have pollen baskets.

Bees collect pollen in the pollen basket and carry it back to the hive.

The females have a pollen basket of curved hairs on the sides of the thorax.

Pollen is collected and put into "pollen baskets" located on the hind legs.

The pollen collects on the hind legs, in a structure referred to as a "pollen basket".

Additionally, the hind legs of the females tend to be wider and fatter with a pollen basket often visible.

Pollen baskets?

The corbicula (pollen basket) on the hind legs of females (queens and workers) is covered with yellow-red hair.

Bees mix dry pollen with nectar and/or honey to compact the pollen in the pollen basket.

Honey bees have special pollen baskets, usually on their rear legs; they groom the pollen off their bodies into these pockets.

After a foraging expedition, these pollen baskets or corbiculae can be seen stuffed full of bright orange or yellow pollen.

"They'll make wings and put on stripes and make pollen baskets for their legs," said Laurel Rimmer, the garden interpretation manager.

Its pollen basket is located under its abdomen, and the bee grows from one-half inch to three-eighths of an inch.

In the process of climbing through the pollen trap wires some pollen is loosened from the bee's pollen basket and falls into a collection container.

The bumblebee's body hairs receive a dusting of pollen from the anthers, which is then groomed into the corbicula ("pollen basket").

Workers gather pollen into the pollen baskets on their back legs, to carry back to the hive where it is used as food for the developing brood.

Workers have morphological specializations: including the corbiculum or pollen basket, abdominal glands that produce beeswax, brood-feeding glands, and barbs on the sting.

Honey bees, bumblebees, and their relatives do not have a scopa, but the hind leg is modified into a structure called the corbicula (also known as the "pollen basket").

The bee visits are several minutes in duration, during which time small portions of the gleba are collected and stored in the pollen basket (corbiculae) of the hind legs.

Karl von Frisch and other bee researchers have observed that individual honey bees vary in their efficiency in packing pollen into the pollen basket; some are more efficient, others less.

They lack the pollen baskets on their hind tibiae because they do not produce honey but they do use the pollen and nectar to stock their nests when they are ready.

The males have dense tufts of hairs on the tarsi of the forelegs, picking up oils by capillarity; the hind tibia, corresponding to the pollen basket of the female, serves as a storage organ for scent.
