Green Pollen

[Fmw]

I am completely new and noticed the bees bringing in green pollen today. What could the source be?

It may be meadowsweet - one of their favourites at this time of year. Do you have any streamsides or marshes nearby where it may grow?

Hi Fmw
Here's a link that might help

The book many beekeepers rely on is

Where are you located. It would be great if you could fill that into your profile. Bell heather is green .
