Comment les abeilles forment-elles leurs pelotes? Lorsque les abeilles visitent les fleurs, elles grattent vigoureusement les anthères des fleurs avec leurs pattes de devant et leur corps velu se charge de pollen. Avec leur première et deuxième paire de pattes, elles rassemblent la poussière fixée sur leurs propres têtes, leurs thorax et leurs abdomens. Un peu de miel régurgité sert à compacter la pelote. Il est ensuite transféré de la deuxième paire de pattes à la troisième paire de pattes. Le peigne de chaque patte de cette paire vient ensuite racler la brosse de la patte opposée et le pollen s'accumule dans les corbeilles. 2, record 9, French, - pelote%20de%20pollen

The honey plant of an area can be identified by analysis of the pollen present in honey or by direct observation of the foraging patterns of bees.

Les plantes nectarifères, pollinifères et productrices de miellat sont des plantes apicoles ou plantes-ressources pour les abeilles. Habituellement, on les désigne aussi sous le vocable de «plantes mellifères». Dans le souci du respect des règles de l'étymologie, cette terminologie devrait normalement être réservée aux plantes nectarifères ou productrices de miellat. Dès lors, une plante exclusivement pollinifère (le noisetier, par exemple) ne peut être qualifiée de plante mellifère. Mais dans le langage courant, les «plantes mellifères» sont devenues synonymes de «plantes apicoles». Même s'il ne s'agit pas d'une erreur grave, encore faut-il être conscient de cet abus de langage. 1, record 22, French, - plante%20apicole
