How do bees collect pollen?

Pollen (pollen) is collected by the honey bees and bumblebees from flowering plants. They do this with the help of the many hairs on their bodies. The pollen stays easily between the hairs. With their paws they carefully brush all the granules until a bunch is formed. A pollen clot weighs on average 12 mg.
The bee sweeps the bunch of pollen grains with her legs backwards. The clump fits exactly in a pollen basket on their hind legs. Now it’s ready for transport.
Upon return in the closet, the pollen deposits in the cells of the cells. Everything is placed in it and even neatly pushed with their heads. After this, the young bees take on the further processing. The young bees moisten and knead the pollen. Then they press it on.
To keep the pollen, it is covered with honey, and the cell is sealed with a laundry cover.
There are bees that collect the pollen in other ways, but always using the hairs on the body.
