Bee and a pot of pansies

PMBC · 2021-06-13 12:19:37

Just been watching a large fat bee mooching its way around a pot of pansies on the window-cill. I noticed a long thing, whitish grey in colour sticking out of the lower part of its back. What is that piece or is it just something stuck to its body?

Could it have been the colour of the pollen it may have been collecting?.....
