When a bee is foraging from flowers, it gets pollen on its body. It uses its front legs to brush the pollen down to special flattened areas on the lower part of its hind legs where it becomes trapped in hairs. The bee then takes this pollen back to the hive where it is fed to the larvae. Pollen is a rich protein source.
