The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collection

by Dana Brackenridge Casteel

Pollen which the collecting bee carries to the hive is deposited by this bee within one of the cells of the comb. As a rule, this pollen is securely packed in the cell by some other worker, which flattens out the rounded masses and adds more fluid to them.
