Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When she grooms herself, the pollen is transferred to the pollen baskets on her back legs. She carries pollen from one flower to the next, and when she’s finished she has a proper pair of what we like to call pollen pants. And so she takes this pollen home to the hive as a food source for her colony."

Detailed explanation-2: -Legs. The honey bee has three pairs of legs which split into six segments, making them very flexible. The front legs are specially designed to clean the antennae, while the rear legs have a section devoted to pollen accumulation called a pollen basket.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bee Bodies It looks like a notch in their leg. The inside curve of this notch is lined with hairs that work like a comb. Bees will draw their antennae through this notch, so the hairs comb off the pollen. Their middle legs are also equipped with comb-like hairs, which they use to scrape pollen from their body.
