Although it's a familiar sight for beekeepers, honey bee scientists are still unraveling the mystery behind this behavior.

Top theories:
🐝 They might be cleaning, scraping, and polishing the hive entrance
🐝 They might be laying down a trail of pheromones to help foraging bees find their way back home

Looking for the best place to get bee pollen? Beekeepers! We've got a hive of them here at The Colony🐝

Bee pollen is like nature's trail mix-a blend of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey, wax, and bee secretions. Bees collect it, use it, and store as food for the hive.

Packed with protein, essential fats, vitamins A, E, D, a bunch of Bs, as well as antioxidants, it is a powerhouse for bees and for us as well🌼
