Payload of Pollen

What a payload of pollen

A bumblebee hovers briefly above a flower, legs packed with pollen, pausing just long enough to gather its next load before moving on.

Bumblebee life cycle

Most bumblebees die in the fall, leaving only newly emerged queens to hibernate through winter and restart colonies in spring, while nectar collected during the season is consumed directly rather than stored as honey. (Source: Treehugger)
