Best Answer

Bees have a slightly concave area on the tibia of their hind legs surrounded by hairs. These are called corbiculae, or 'pollen baskets'. As the bee is foraging, it uses its forelegs to brush the pollen from its body back into the corbiculae where it is trapped.

You can often see this -- look for (usually) yellow lumps on the bee's hind legs.

The pollen sticks to the bees' legs and when a bee lands on another flower, some of the pollen falls off.
