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.
Foraging bees bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who pack the pollen into cells with their heads. During collection and possibly packing, the pollen is mixed with nectar and bee salivary secretions.
