Forager Bee Returns with Pollen

Caption

Worker bees become foragers only at the very end of their lives, after making their way through a list prescribed tasks from feeding brood to ventilating the nest. The forager in this photo is recognizable by her saddlebags, which are stuffed with yellow pollen.
