A magenta colored flower with a pale yellow spiked center; a bee, with a yellow pollen basket on its leg, is burrowing into the center of the flower. The bee is in the shade and the sun is shining on the other half of the flower as well as a leaf behind it. Look closely, you can see the shadow of the bee on the green leaf in the background.
A bee with pollen baskets on its legs was rummaging around inside a clematis in my garden this morning 🥰🐝

#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.

As a #bee gathers a batch of pollen, she pushes it into the bottom of the basket. A full basket, #corbiculae, can carry as many as a million grains of #pollen. She mixes a little #nectar with the pollen to make it sticky and to help it hold together @Treehugger

As @Treehugger writes: These bright spots of cargo are #pollen baskets or #corbiculae. These baskets are found in #apid #bees, including #honeybees and #bumblebees. Video and pics by: @JorgeRH2O
