@anderson_joshuaThat bright orange sac on the hind leg of Apis mellifera is called a corbicula, or pollen basket, and it's where this western honey bee stashes what it collects from flowers.

The focus is a bee covered in yellow pollen. It is perched on a bright yellow flower, with its legs and body dusted in the pollen. The background is a soft, out-of-focus green. The mood is natural and detailed, like a macro nature photograph. The large, bright orange pollen sac on its leg is particularly notable.
