David L. HuBees perform a crucial function for nature by pollinating crops. Now, researchers at Georgia Tech have explored how they keep themselves clean while dealing with that messy pollen.... David L. Hu, an associate professor who has a joint appointment in the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Mechanical Engineering, co-authored the study. Hu says this is the first quantitative analysis of how honeybees clean themselves and carry pollen using the 3 million hairs on their bodies. The study appeared in the journal Bioinspiration and Biomimetics.
