The hairy legs collect pollen dust from the flowers as the bee crawls all over a flower to collect nectar and make honey.
Visiting another flower, the bee deposits the pollen dust on to the other flower, thus pollinating the flower, to blossom and bloom!
That is where the money is, Honey!

Trust your own perceptions more. It is hair.
I believe it's used to hold the pollen they gather from flowers. But it also could be used as a receptor for taste or something.
