In the creation story of the Kalahari Desert's San people, a bee carries a mantis across a river.

For instance, bees carry and deposit pollen into flowers, a visible and easy-to-explain example of male fertilisation.

The bees would carry him over the valleys.

One bee could carry pollen from two distinct species without mixing it.

The bee was carrying pollen of a previously unknown orchid taxon, Meliorchis caribea, on its wings.

The bees thus collect the nectar, but carry no pollen and so do not pollinate the next flower they visit.

The structure of the hind legs indicated that the bees carried pollen in the same way that modern bees do.

It was as though the bees carried a self-destructive mechanism set to go off at the same time.

This and many other Hylaeus species lack the scopa which some bees use to carry pollen, and instead carry it in their crops.

Most bees are fuzzy and carry an electrostatic charge, which aids in the adherence of pollen.
