My dad was a bee keeper before his health started to decline. My favourite bee anatomy fact?

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

High fives for Pollen Pants?

I think my favorite part is how they communicate to other bees where the honey is.

They do an interpretive dance.
