One hive is bringing in only small amounts of a white-ish pollen. From the charts, it seems to be plum or raspberry, but the plum blossom are gone and the raspberries aren't in flower yet (at least in my garden). Any other ideas?

Actually, I have a nuc where the queen is either just mated or about to be, and they're bringing in big lumps of yellow pollen, presumably dandelion. Does this indicate that HRH is now laying?

Plum has brown pollen.

Indicate laying.... Look into hive. Look too, do they have swarm cells.
 
Most probably Hawthorn. Loads of it coming in right now.
