It is amazing how much pollen they can carry on each leg. That must weigh a ton for them.

Actually, that would be interesting information to have. What is the weight in pollen carried by a bee sufficiently covered in the stuff. And then what percentage of it’s body weight does the pollen represent.
Soooo……when can we expect your answers?
