Escopa

Escopa
Abeja Andrenidae con escopa cargada de polen.
Para la localidad italiana, véase Scopa (Italia).

La escopa o scopa es un órgano de la mayoría de las abejas que sirve para acarrear el polen. Consiste de una zona velluda en las patas posteriores o en el abdomen. Es similar a la corbícula o canasta de polen en su función pero esta última es más especializada y es característica de las abejas ápidas.

Algunas especies de abejas carecen de escopa y transportan polen en el buche. Las abejas parásitas no colectan polen y carecen de escopa.
