In addition to nectar, honeybees collect pollen from flowers. As it flies, the bee generates a static electric charge that causes the pollen to stick to the bee as it lands on the flower.

Bees pack the pollen into the honeycomb and use it to make protein- and vitamin-rich food, which is primarily consumed by young nurse bees, the larvae, and the queen.
