This film shows landing, take-off and collecting behaviour on Melilotus albus and Solidago canadensis. Landing is characterized by an extension of the legs away from the body. Initial contact is usually made with the first pair of legs. On the plant the bee is guided from one small floret to the next with aid of the antennal flagella. A jumping movement with subsequent loss of tarsal contact is not required for the bee to take-off.
