You can often see this -- look for (usually) yellow lumps on the bee's hind legs.
Why are honey bees not fuzzy?

What is the role of hummingbirds in pollination?
Bees take pollen from flowers and bring it back to their hive to make honey. In fact honey is not made out of pollen, the honey bees visit flowers in search of nectar produced by plants in their flowers inside the nectary glands. While sucking the nectar the bees smear anthers and pollen load is loaded on their legs. These pollen grains attached to their legs come in contact with the stigma of other flowers when the bees move from one flower to the other. Thus pollination is done by them for plants and in return of this service plants provide nectar to them.
