That sudden “pollen load” then caused the wave of thousands of victims to suffer breathing issues and even cardiac arrest.

Sweat bees are often seen flying around the garden with a heavy load of pollen on their back legs.

The weight of nectar or pollen load is proportional to body weight of the bumblebee – the bigger the bumblebee is, the greater the load it carries home.

But that’s not all … To ensure that it takes care of pollen before taking off, it has a Machiavellian plan !

When the flowers open, the plant releases a load of airborne pollen which sticks to and is absorbed by the pistil of the female plant.
