The Antennæ
The antennæ are so delicate that the bee can tell the shape and size of any object by just passing them over it. On the antennæ are smell-hollows with which the bee “scents out” the honey.
Legs, Wings, and Claws
On the bee’s body, as you know, are the legs and wings. At the end of each leg is a pair of claws.
Pollen Baskets
On each hind leg of the Worker Bee is a hollow in which she packs the pollen flour which she gathers. These are the pollen baskets.
The Wings
The front pair of wings is larger than the hind pair, and often in older bees who have done much work, the edges are frayed and torn.
