Pollen basket

A European honey bee with corbicula full of pollen, returning to the hive

The pollen basket or corbicula (plural corbiculae) is part of the tibia on the hind legs of the female of certain species of bees. They use the structure in harvesting pollen and carrying it to the nest or hive where it is used as food by the colony.

Bee species with no pollen baskets have scopae, which fulfil a similar role.
