A bumble bee covered in pollen takes flight after finishing vising a flower at Rare Charitable Research Reserve Garden. Bumble bees are important pollinators of crops and wild plant species. Bumble bees collect pollen off of their hairs and brings the pollen back to the nest to feed the developing brood. While visiting different flowers, some of the pollen that is stuck to the bee's hair gets deposited on other flowers leading to pollination!
