Best Answer

Pollen sticks to the hairs. This not only helps in collection but also in pollination as any pollen missed by the bee rubs off in the next flower.

----

The hairs on a bee are plumose -- that is, they are branched, like tiny ferns. When the bee is in flight, the hairs build up a small charge of static electricity and this attracts the pollen grains to the hairs. The bee can then brush the pollen back to the corbiculae (pollen baskets) on the back legs to carry it back to the hive.

When a bee lands on a flower to pollinate it, the hairs pick up some of the pollen.

Honey bees collect?

The worker bees go out to collect pollen and nectar which they bring back to the Hive for food and to make honey. Honey bees eat honey and pollen as their primary food, but they also gather liquids and juices from plant and fruit exudates. When honey bees come across insects that secrete honeydew, they gather the liquid and store it as honey. When pollen, nectar, or honeydew aren't available, honey bees can collect and store plant spores and dusty animal feed as well.
