Bees and the Pollen

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago

Hello everyone.
When you see a bee on the flower you most probably can see a pollen on their legs. Depends if bee just started or if visited number of flowers the amount of the pollen will change. Yet sometimes you will not see pollen as maybe bee just started collecting it.
They collect pollen on their legs and when amount is enough they take it in beehive and go out to collect more. Many flowers each day. They collect pollen and nectar.
Sometimes bee keepers collect this pollen by putting special entrances on the beehive entrance. This way some of the pollen fall off and falls into special box. Daily you can collect nice amount in these pollen collectors.
They say that this pollen has many health benefits.
It can be used with tea - you put some.

Interesting part that pollen can be different color. Depends on which plants and which flower type bee is visiting and collecting pollen from.
So you can have yellow, orange, different shades of yellow and orange, some type of white pollen or black pollen.
It everything depends on the type of the flower.
Taking photos of different pollen colors on bees sounds challenging and nice idea to try to do.

Here in these photos you can see bee collecting pollen. This should be apple flower ( or maybe pear flower).

And here is Bee collecting pollen on Dandelion flower. As you can see pollen color is something between yellow and orange. Almost same as Dandelion color.
Bee inspects flower thoroughly in search for pollen and nectar.

Las abejas son tan importantes en la naturaleza que sin ellas no se proliferara la flora en el mundo.
