    Default Hard working Honeybee

    I just popped around the corner to the shops and decidd to take my camera with me... I found lots of busy bees on a bank of ivy flowers. This busy creature has full-looking pollen sacs (or, saddlebags as I like to call them ).

    Apparently it takes from 3 to 15 minutes for a bee to collect a full load of pollen, although that difference is down much to the individuals ability rather than just the amount of pollen out there.
