this is exactly what the science community needed.
Fun fact: bats are amazing pollinators too! They can carry more pollen than bees, and some plants evolved special (sulphur-based so unpleasant) scents to attract bats.

What is I were to tell you that that’s not actually the bee’s job? It’s being abused by the flowers while it’s just trying to have a drink.
Bees do carry pollen for themselves, and bring pollen back to the hive. It’s food, and their main source of protein, and protein is the main limiting factor of their ability to raise new young.
Bee is not on the web…
I’ll see myself out.
Surely it would be a ‘he’? The queen will be in her hive…
All worker bees are female though
TIL

The drones (male bees) don’t carry pollen. They exist pretty much just to have sex with the queen and then die.
Worker bees are also all female…
