What's flowering as forage in your area

[elainemary]

Colonies are piling in heather pollen today. Many bees returning are laden and all very busy

There are two fields of chicory next my apiary

Eucryphia on its way

First saw eucryphia in Lismore Castle gardens, Co. Waterford; in full flower at the time, they were Eucryphia intermedia Rostrevor and must have been 40' tall and covered in bees; noise was spectacular.

Interesting Eric. So a Chilean cross, and not the Tasmanian one, but still....presumably Gondwanian in origin.

No idea what mine are bringing in VERY busy, a few are obviously on the Himalayan balsalm, but most are arriving with medium-filled pollen baskets of dull yellow pollen. At some times of day it looks like every bee!
Anyone any ideas?
