Bees are fuzzy. How do you think this trait can help bees carry pollen?
Well, for one, the most common are bees.
Bees take pollen to make honey.
A hive
So-called killer bees, more properly called Africanized honey bees, eat the same as any other honey bee: pollen and nectar.
no because honey bees pollen
When bees are collecting pollen, the grains stick to specialized hairs around the knee joint of their hind legs, forming sacs. After an hour of collecting a build up of pollen grains, usually yellowish in color, is quite visible on the hind legs. The fuzzy hairs, stickiness of the pollen and electrostatic electricity contribute to the build up of these sacs.
Flowers contain pollen and bees carry it to other flowers but some flowers can spread their own pollen.
Bees brush the pollen from their bodies down into special parts of their hind legs called corbiculae. These are dished areas which are surrounded by hairs to hold the pollen. When they get back to the hive they put the pollen into honeycomb cells for storage. thank you
pollen
They bring the pollen to other flowers.
pollen and necter pollen and necter
Honey bees get pollen on their feet and legs, and carry that pollen to the next flowering plant, tree, or shrub. Bees pollinate so the plants mature.
Male bees use nectar for food. Female bees use pollen for feeding the larvae, and nectar and pollen for own food.

No that's aphids, bees are collect pollen and nectar. No, bees collect nectar from nectary glands and pollen from the anthers in their pollen sacks. A lot of pollen also gets stuck to them elsewhere, and this can brush off in other flowers to pollinate them.
If you might have noticed a recent answer, which was pollen, that answer is wrong. Bees collect nectar, which they turn into honey. pollen sticks to their legs and falls onto other flowers. this is called pollination.
