Honeybee removing the pollen from her legs in our hive. Honeybees collect pollen by mixing it with regurgitate nectar to form a pellet. They put the pellet in a “pollen basket” on their back legs. An average bee colony will make 1.6 million trips to collect 3.2 million pollen pellets per year. One pellet per leg!
