Solution

The pollen basket is a pollen-collecting apparatus present in some species of honeybees. It is present in the region of the tibia of the hind legs and is surrounded by stiff hairs. Honeybees move to several flowers in a day and the pollen they collect in their journey is stored in these pollen baskets.
