This video was sent to me by one of our honey lovers in the Brookwater area. While these girls look like they are rummaging through a scrap heap they are actually collecting pollen. Bees build up an electrostatic charge on the tiny hair follicles all over their body during flight, when they land on a flower they ingest the nectar but the pollen sticks to their body like a magnet. They will then stroke their bodies with their back legs and collect the pollen in their pollen sacks.
Beautiful. Thanks Debbie for the video.

Bees just love them, how many bees do you see on this splendid example?
