Pollen
“Bees have branched hairs that get covered in pollen as they move around flowers. They use special brushes on their legs to comb the pollen into baskets on their hind legs. Bees can carry up to half their body weight in pollen.”
Beekeeping, or apiculture, yields a variety of valuable products, many of which are highly prized for their nutritional, medicinal, or practical uses.
