A pollen basket is located on the hind legs of a bee. Bees use these specialized structures to collect and carry pollen back to their hive for food. The pollen is stored in the basket, which is made of stiff hairs that help hold the pollen in place during flight.

It is called the 'pollen basket' or corbicula.

The orange growth on the back leg of a honey bee is likely pollen collected from flowers. Honey bees gather pollen on their hind legs in specialized structures called pollen baskets, which are located on their back legs. This pollen will be taken back to the hive and used as food for the colony.

There are 50 chromosomes in both male and female pineapple pollen grain.
Bees don't have pockets but on their back legs there is a depressed area called the corbicula - the common name is pollen basket. As the bee flies back from the flower, she combs the pollen off of herself and packs it into the pollen basket on her back legs. When she arrives at the hive, she has two neat little packets of pollen on each of her back legs and is back to looking like a normal bee rather than one who has taken a bath in pollen!
