My dad was a bee keeper before his health started to decline. My favourite bee anatomy fact?
The fuzzy bit on their back legs that collects pollen....they're called Pollen Pants.

They also have a special little notch in their front legs for combing pollen off of their antenna

I think my favorite part is how they communicate to other bees where the honey is.

They do an interpretive dance.
