RE: Color Challenge ~ Sunday Purple
@annephilbrick in the third picture the bumblebee's wings look funky. I love the purple flower and the baskets I never knew they were called that, I thought they had hairs the pollen stuck to, interesting fact.
😊
Thank You !!
@myself
The pollen does stick to their hairs but the bees work the pollen into the sacs/baskets. If you Google Bumblebee pollen sacs there is some cool interesting reading on the process.

@annephilrick While reading about the bumblebees baskets I also read that when one dies or is about to die the healthy bees remove it from the nest so not to spread disease, I thought that was also an interesting fact.
