Not so strange. I have an unusual one in my garden which flowers in May. It has just come in to flower and bees are very attracted to it every year even in the presence of OSR.

During the rare dry spells mine are bringing in mainly dandelion and some pale yellow pollen. A few weeks back I had to put on my 2nd super which will be coming off this week. They've been stuck in so long that almost all their stores are gone and they're now taking 1:1 syrup

No early crop this year The early honey last year was fantastic too, by far the best I've ever tasted. Ah well, at least this hive is still alive

Could the light yellow pollen be bluebell? I saw mine collecting it last week and it was almost a cream colour. We also have a willow that is just starting to flower a couple of fields from here.

Better weather today - seen on Hawthorn, Holly, Rowan, Laburnum, Horse Chestnut and Apple. Bringing in lots of off-white pollen but not sure what from?

 

[Luminos]

Mine are mad for holly, and alder buckthorn, and the acacia is just about to open

 

[eleanor20]

Mine seem to bringing in mostly a slightly off-white pollen. We are surrounded by hawthorn hedges in full flower, several large horse chestnut trees, as well as masses of cowslips and bluebells.

Nettle is in flower but no bees on it
