pollen basket
Leg collection hollow
A pollen basket is a smooth, concave area on a bee's hind leg, fringed with stiff hairs, used to carry pollen back to the hive.
Foraging bees pack pollen into these structures, forming visible pellets: The bee's pollen baskets were loaded with bright yellow clumps.
Also called a corbicula.
