Pollen ID question

[Nordicul]

Ok Guys

My girls are pulling in lots of reddish brown pollen... first time I’ve seen this.
Could it be from Willows as I have a field of them next door, but I thought pussy willow catkins were yellow and later in the year?

Could be from Gorse.

Thanks Hivemaker,

That’s very like the color , and though not a lot of gorse around there is some.....and as they say around here “ When the gorse is out of flower, kissing is out of season!

Thanks Nordicul

Called at the apiary for a quick look, all the Amm colonies bringing in Gorse.
