Does the pollen basket of a bee part collect nectar?
The pollen baskets on a honey bee are specifically for pollen. The bee collects nectar with its tongue and stores it in a sac within its body to transport it back to the hive.
Do male or female collect pollen?
Females, males are only meant to mate with the queen.
How does a bee get its food?

When is bee pollen at its most toxic?

Is it good for the bee if it takes pollen from a flower?
It doesn't hurt the bee, if that's what you are wondering. Actually, the bee isn't trying to collect pollen at all. Bees stop on flowers to collect nectar, and the pollen clings to the fluff on their bodies. When the bee stops at another flower, the pollen from another plant is brushed onto the flower. This is one way that flowers reproduce. The nectar collected by the bee then goes on to become honey after it is taken back to the hive. So, when a bee takes pollen from a flower, it is neither good nor bad, but a neutral interaction.
What is the relationship of bee and a flower?
Mutualism - both species benefit from their relationship. The bee comes to the flower to collect nectar as food, and brushes against the anthers of the flower, which are covered in pollen. The bee moves to another flower to collect nectar and rubs the pollen off on the second flower's stigma, fertilizing the flower. Thus, the bee receives a source of food from the flowers, and the flowers are pollinated by the bee.
Is a bee a niche?
A bumble bee's niche is to collect pollen from one plant and transfer it for pollination. These bees are also responsible for collecting nectar that can be used to create bee's wax.
What part of the bee does the pollen stick toslide1?
Pollen primarily sticks to the bee's legs and body, particularly the fuzzy hairs on their thorax and hind legs. Many bee species have specialized structures called pollen baskets or corbiculae on their hind legs that help collect and transport pollen back to their hive. This adaptation allows bees to efficiently gather pollen while foraging for nectar.
