Memories of brighter days, we had our first snow today, less than 3".

The official name for the pollen pockets is corbiculae. The pockets are on a bee’s back legs. They are usually yellow or orange. These pockets make it easier for the bees to collect pollen. It would be very tiring for the bees to have to go to their hives to deposit the pollen after each flower they visit. These baskets are found in apid bees, including honey bees and bumblebees, like in this carpenter bee. 🐝
