Ceratina sp.
The male bee collects pollen. They moisten it with saliva using their tongues, then transfer it to their hind legs and pack it into the pollen basket. The pollen basket is an arrangement of hairs found on the tibia of the hind legs. By packing pollen in this manner they compact it so that it can be easily carried back to the hive or nest.
