This footage from Jardín Botánico "Las Orquídeas" in Puyo, Ecuador shows an orchid bee collecting perfume from a Gongora orchid. These orchids do not produce nectar to attract pollinators, but fragrances which are collected by male orchid bees in order to seduce females. The bees collect perfume with brushes on their forelegs and transfer it in flight via the middle legs to cavities on the enlarged hind legs.
