Bees don't make pollen, they collect it from the flowers they visit.
Bees have concave areas on the tibias of their back legs, surrounded by hairs. These are called pollen baskets or corbiculae, and as the bee forages for nectar, it brushes any pollen from its head and body back to the pollen baskets and packs it in.
The pollen is taken back to the hive, where it is stored and used for food. It is a rich protein source.
