Bumble Bee Basket by grannysue

Bumble Bee Basket

Bumble bees collect pollen in "baskets' on their rear legs. Also called sacs. This one has yellow pollen in her basket.
Another shot taken at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. I believe this was in the Four Seasons Garden section.
Check out my Extras page, I am posting a garden statue photo.
Thank you for viewing and your comments, they are appreciated.
