Fifteen contributors participated in this week's survey under mostly sunny conditions that pleasantly warmed up a cold morning. Different kinds of bees have various methods by which they carry pollen. The Honey Bee has a corbicula (pollen basket) on the side of its leg, while the Mason Bee has a scopa (pollen brush) on its belly. See illustrations below.
