Favourite pollen colour - horse chestnut.

[Cazza]

Saw my first horse chestnut pollen of the season coming in yesterday. The colour is so striking and always makes me think summer is coming
Hah! Then I got up this morning and changed my mind.

Luckily the local is having a beer festival

Any one else have a favourite pollen?

spring has arrived

But not this year yet, even now - well not properly!! The bees stayed indoors near all of today. They were collecting water and that seemed about it!

I don't believe any of them have a clue what the weathers going to be.

There is a small amount of green/cream pollen that goes in every year about this time that I like to see,I must take a sample this year to see what it is.

Any ideas before I get some and polish the scope off.

might be Grape Hyacinth - Muscari.

I too like Chestnut, it's just so bright.

London Pride for me.

Adnams Broadside.....or an Old.....or a Mother-in-Law (if you know what one of those is!)

WPC,

I know what a 'mother-in-law sweet' is. Is this the same in brew?

After exhaustive testing, the best bitter was Wolf's Lavender Honey, (had to bee.)
Fave pollen still horse chestnut.
