Pollen panniers .........
We all know that Bees collect pollen to take back to their hives to support honey production, but how do they transport it ?.
....... this image clearly illustrates how they cache pollen on their legs .... as always with insects, great efficiency.
Every time I view nature I always end up thinking 'that's clever' but we also end up copying nature to benefit ourselves an example being crash helmets which we copied the Woodpecker.
