Look closely, the golden dust on the bee's body is pollen.
On a delicate "Turnera Subulata" blossom, known in Indonesia as "Bunga Pukul Delapan" (because its petals open gently around 8 in the morning or commonly known as "White Buttercup/ White Alder/ Sage Rose), honey bees begin its quiet work.
Bees don't just collect nectar, they collect plant resin and Pollen too.
The fine yellow powder you see attached to their hind legs is stored in special structures called "Corbiculae" (pollen basket). As bees move from flower to flower, pollen sticks to the tiny hairs covering their bodies. Later, they pack it onto their hind legs and carry it back to the hive as protein source for the colony.
Every landing on a flower, pollen is transferred ~ this is Pollination.
Pollination allows plants to reproduce and plants grow healthier, fruits develop, seeds form, and ecosystem regenerate 🌼🐝
Captured on a cloudy day, just before the rain returned, a small lucky window to witness nature in motion 🤗
In the next post, we will share it to you when the Flower Pollen becomes Bee Pollen and how its transformation process.
