It looks like they have little gloves on? What are those? Thanks!

      It certainly is. They have special fur on hind legs for pollen collection and know to scrape it off in the nest. Also it’s multicolored. In my opinion, pollen storage is tastier than honey, and is in surplus - they only use it in Summer and have plenty in early Spring, so taking it out frees space for honey. Other beekeepers just discard it, so I just can eat it until I’m sick.
