When for walk in a park near one of my apiaries and was happy to see the bees were very busy working this plant. Vivid luminous yellow pollen and tiny downward facing flowers.

I don't know much at all about plants and flowers but thought I'd look it up and I believe its a Melilotus officinalis, known as the yellow sweet clover, yellow melilot, ribbed melilot or common melilot.
