Did you know bumblebees have a “foot comb”? 🤔 Female bumblebees collect pollen by brushing pollen grains out of their hair and into their pollen baskets using a specially adapted comb on the tarsus (foot) 🦶🪥 🎥 Tom Luck

Happy #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Pollinators are key for healthy ecosystems, however the loss of approximately 97% of #wildflower meadows since the 1930s has had a big impact on our #bees 🌸 Let it grow for #NoMowMay & beyond to help our pollinators thrive🌻 👉 bit.ly/3UWii6B
