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 do an interpretive dance.

High fives for Pollen Pants?

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