Having never seen a honey bee so full of pollen as this one is, I'd suspect the bee was pushed, perhaps by the air pressure generated by the collector unintentionally, into depths of the flower. Depths that she would not have ventured into, on her own.

I'm thinking this bee was collected at the flower, rather than at the hive, or in transit.
