Hi Hivemaker

Thank you for those kind words regards my exams, by the way I have had notification that I passed the BBKA Microscopy exam.
Whilst on the subject of exams I will be sitting Module 5 and 8 and that's me finished with the written modules.

As my Posting ID suggests I am crazy about any aspect of beekeeping and how to keep our bees as healthy as possible.

The thorax is the work centre of the honey bee and has 4 wingd and 6 legs attached to it.

If you have any questions please askaway.

No - I don't know how she collects pollen and transfers it to the pollen basket.

Please explain (with pictures if necessary) while I go and stand in the corner

OK Frisbee

I will explain later on about the collection of pollen from plant to hive.
By the way what books do you have to help you understand beekeeping?



The final Part in External Anatomy see attachments.

By the way what books do you have to help you understand beekeeping?

Currently working my way through "Beekeeping in Britain" - Manley

Hi Frisbee,

The reason I asked what book are you reading was you were not sure of how pollen is transfered from flower to pollen basket then into cells.
Surely the book you have by R.O.B. Manley gives details of the workings of the Honey Bee colony?
If there is a chapter on foraging or the requirements of the hive or collection of pollen?

If you can't find anything that informs you of the method of pollen collection then I'll write a brief resume.

[Frisbee]

To be fair it probably does but I haven't read that bit yet. . . . . I'll go and stand back in the corner now

 

[Bcrazy]

Hey Frisbee,

Your allowed not to know as your a newbee.

Regards;

 

[Frisbee]

Aww - thanks

I did kinda think that as a beginner there were probably more important things for me to learn first which is why I won't have read about it yet

Thank you for your patience with the numpties
