Whilst cutting the courgettes this morning watched a honey bee go down one of the flowers and come up a few moments later completely covered in yellow pollen , so much so it crashed on takeoff into the plant and then spent the next few minutes cleaning its head , especially around the eyes, the rest of its body was completely covered . Once the eyes where cleaned , it then took a low level flight ( about a foot of the ground ) back towards the hives , still completely covered . Bees can not afford to waste anything they gather .
If only humans were the same !!!
