Bee with Pollen
The pollen is stuffed into hairy receptacles on their hind legs called corbiculae. A single bee can carry about half her own body weight in pollen. Once back at the hive, the workers stuff the pollen into an awaiting cell.Swarm of Bees
If a hive gets too crowded the queen will leave with about 60% of her workers to find a new home. The remaining workers will raise a new queen.Frame of Capped Honey
