Something that I've noticed from time to time is that robbing bees can
include those with pollen loads.
I snapped the attached photo this week, taken on a comb that had been left
out, away from any colonies, with a bit of honey in it.  Note the number of
pollen foragers with fresh loads on their legs.
Comments???
