1 Bees carry pollen on their hind legs called a pollen basket. 2  Pollen is a source of protein for the hive and is needed to feed to the baby bees to help them grow. 3  A beehive in summer can have as many as 50,000 to 80,000 bees.4  A bee must collect nectar from about 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey. The bees use their honeycomb cells to raise their babies in, and to store nectar, honey, pollen and water. 2  Nectar is a sweet watery substance that the bees gather. 3  After they process the nectar in their stomach they regurgitate it into the honeycomb cells. 4  Then they fan with their wings to remove excess moisture.
Although all bees need pollen at some stage in their lives, not all bees gather it. Male bees do not collect pollen, and have no pollen baskets (corbicula) with which to transport it from flowers to the nest or hive.
