The tibia of the bee's hind legs are flattened and have a concave section on their outer edges. Around these are hairs angled in towards the centre. These are called 'pollen baskets' or corbiculae.
After a bee has visited a flower it will use its forelegs to brush pollen from the body down into the corbiculae where it becomes trapped in the hollow by the hairs.
