#corbiculae rock!

= bee pollen baskets/sacs.

These bee ‘saddle bags’ are smooth indents surrounded by stiff hairs on the tibia of the hind legs of some #female bees.

Used to carry collected #pollen back to the nest.

Purple coneflower...
Bumble packs corbiculae
With golden pollen

He'll bring it home to the nurse
To make the royal jelly

Honey bee working on a dandelion flower with both her pollen baskets (corbiculae) visible and looking quite full already - definitely a busy bee!

Spring training: A honeybee, laden with pollen, cleans its antenna after returning to her hive on a springlike day in southwestern #Oregon. Female honey bees carry pollen in corbiculae, or pollen baskets, located on their back legs #photography #macrophotography #naturephotography

Trivia for the day: The corbicula is part of the tibia on a bee’s hind legs used to collect pollen.

A pollen-packed bumblebee burrows into a dandelion’s golden crown. You can see the bright yellow pollen sac, called corbiculae, clinging to its leg—like a tiny nature-made saddlebag. #art #photography #nature

Two of the last photos I took in my sister’s glorious garden this year. 🌸🌺🌼

Note the bee’s cute little corbicula (from the Latin for “small basket” 🧺) full of yellow pollen!! 🐝 (Fun Fact: only female “worker” bees have corbiculae! 👷‍♀️💪🩷)

I wish I had set the shutter fast enough to stop the wing movement, but I did get a good shot of the unusual things on this bee's legs I hadn't noticed before. Some females bees have what are called corbiculae or pollen baskets—little pocket-like structures to bring pollen back to the hive.

Oh! So much pollen in their little corbiculae!
