Ready for a Drop-off

This bee has collected quite a load of pollen. I'm curious how large these clumps get before the bee makes a drop-off
Never saw this before, Heather! Are you saying that is all pollen on the bee's back?!! Great capture!

@bjywamer Yes! That's quite amazing, isn't it? I actually learned about this last year from someone on 365. It's great how we learn things from each other :-)

Here is a link to an article about bees and pollen where they discuss the "pollen sac."
