 A honey bee (also spelled honeybee)
is a eusocial flying insect within the genus Apis of the bee clade. They are
known for construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax, for the large
size of their colonies, and for their surplus production and storage of honey, The
hairs cover the insect’s eyes and entire body in various densities that allow
efficient cleaning and transport. the hairs are spaced so that they suspend
pollen above the body for easy removal by the forelegs. In turn, hair spacing
on the foreleg dictates the leg’s ability to store the pollen removed during
each swipe
 
 .
 
 hairy forelegs are necessary for
pollen removal.
