Look at all that pollen!
My dad was a bee keeper before his health started to decline. My favourite bee anatomy fact?
The fuzzy bit on their back legs that collects pollen....they're called Pollen Pants.
Lol. Look at his pollinated pantaloon.
She's so cute with her little fluffy pollentaloons!
They also have a special little notch in their front legs for combing pollen off of their antenna
Ahem......squeeeeeeeeee! 😍😍😍
And now it is also my favorite bee anatomy fact!
High fives for Pollen Pants?
I think my favorite part is how they communicate to other bees where the honey is.
They do an interpretive dance.
That's my favourite behavioural bee fact. Bees are just downright awesome!
Beehavioural even?
I'll show myself out...
Fuck me....it was right there!
Glad you caught it, I'm ashamed of myself....
*She’s a hard worker!
Not to presume someone's gender, but that's a she. She's a hard worker. So you know, boy honey bees don't even collect pollen or nectar. They also don't protect the bee hive or care for the young. Boy bees are the meaning of lazy. Most hives will only have a few percent of boys in summer, but when it gets cold they get booted from the hive and die and they don't make any more boys until next spring.
