My bees began bringing in light green pollen yesterday which I presume is from the lime trees as the temperature here in Lancashire reached 18 degrees or there abouts. 20 degrees today and more lime pollen coming in.
Does this also indicate that the bees will also be bringing in nectar from the lime trees or does the temperature need to be higher into the mid 20's for them to produce nectar?
I didn't see any pollen of this colour last year at all as the weather was not to good.
