The "tongue of bees" typically refers to the proboscis, a long, tubular structure that bees use to feed on nectar from flowers. This specialized mouthpart allows them to suck up liquids efficiently. The proboscis is also crucial for pollination, as bees transfer pollen while feeding. Additionally, it plays a role in communication and thermoregulation within the hive.
