In worker honey bees the hind leg is a pollen-carrying tool, and this slide lets students look at it closely. The feature most teachers point out is the pollen basket, a smooth, slightly hollow area on the leg fringed by long curved hairs that hold a ball of packed pollen. Nearby, rows of stiff bristles act as a comb that brushes pollen from the body, and a joint between leg segments works as a press to push it into the basket.
Showing the leg segment by segment helps classes connect structure to function and supports discussion of why bees matter for crop pollination. Scan the whole leg at low power first, then raise the magnification over the bristle rows and the basket margin. A useful follow-up is to have students compare this highly specialised leg with the walking legs of another insect.
