Honey bees have developed a way to transform pollen particles into a viscoelastic pellet, allowing them to transport pollen efficiently, quickly, and reliably to their hive. The study also suggests the insects remove pollen from their bodies at speeds two to 10 times slower than their typical grooming speeds.
To collect and transport pollen, honey bees mix pollen particles with regurgitated nectar and form the mixture into pellets, which cling their hind legs. The honey bees then deposit the pellets into a cell within the hive by carefully scraping them off using their other legs.The photo taken in a phone.
