The most recognized pollinators are the various species of bees, which are plainly adapted to pollination. Bees typically are fuzzy and carry an electrostatic charge. Both featured help pollen grains adhere to their bodies, but they also have specialized pollen carrying structures; in most bees , this takes the form of a structure known as the scopa, which is on the hind legs of most bees, and the lower abdomen, made up of thick, plumose setae, honey bees, bumble bees and their relatives do not have a scopa, but the hind leg is modified into a structure called as corbicula. Most bees gather nectar, a concentrated energy source and pollen, which is high protein food, to nurture their young and inadvertently transfer some among the flowers as they are working.
