![Western Honeybee antenna cleaner or Apis mellifera Bees have an antenna cleaner on each of their two front legs. The antenna cleaners are made of two parts: a circular notch in the basitarsus, which is fitted with stiff hairs, and a corresponding spur on the tibia. According to Mattingly (2013) “To use the antenna cleaner, the [bee] raises her foreleg over her antenna and then flexes her tarsus. This action allows the spur to close the notch and form a ring around the antenna.” Apis mellifera,Geotagged,United States,Western honey bee](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/5803/157369_small.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1763596810&Signature=mKykrnURIkuVDjtjRmSmg0b%2FlPI%3D)
