A few types of bees will collect pollen from wind-pollinated plants;
Apis mellifera is the best-known, but you will occasionally see
Melissodes (Apidae), Lasioglossum, and Augochloropsis (Halictidae) doing
similar things. They are pretty clearly not pollinating in these cases -
at best, they are stealing pollen, and a few stray grains may go
airborne thanks to their movements.
