The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530002603)

While working upon the problem of wax-scale manipulation during the summer of 1911 the writer became convinced that the so-called wax shears or pinchers of the worker honey bee have nothing whatever to do with the extraction of the wax scales from their pockets, but rather that they are organs used in loading the pollen from the pollen combs of the hind legs into the corbicul or pollen baskets (Cast eel, 1912).
