Facts about Bees (part 2 of 4)
Hind Leg: A honeybee's back legs, called hind legs, are specially shaped and covered with hairs to collect pollen, then store it in the ball-shaped "pollen baskets" attached to its legs.
Middle Leg: A honeybee uses its middle legs to clean its wings and body, as well as loosen pollen baskets from the back legs to transfer them to the hive.
Foreleg: A honeybee's front legs, or forelegs, have a special U-shaped notch for grooming errant pollen and other articles from their antennae.
Head: The head is dominated by its two large compound eyes and a mouth full of specialized parts, helping it to lap nectar and excrete wax, among other things.
Antennae: Honeybees communicate by touching the ends of their antennae to one another.
Pharynx: The honeybee's throat is lined with tiny rippling muscles that help move food in and honey out of its body.

A wonderful closeup, and a fantastic note
Congratulations, for both.
Keep on, I'm waiting for part 3 and four.

Oh gee, another great macro... Your note is excellent -not that I understand it- but is very descriptive...

Nice Macro Panos. Very sharp and detailed. :)
