What's flowering as forage in your area

[jenkinsbrynmair]

dandelions are opening with us today - bees on to them like a shot, saw some blackthorn blossom the other day too.
Driving to the midlands earlier and saw a field of OSR in flower near Raglan.

Gorse is going for it big time but the weather is not warm enough for the bees to use it to there advantage..the odd bees where working it today but no pollen was seen going into the hives.

Laurel starting around here suspect there will be a lot opening the next couple of warm days.

Yellow pollen now starting to show on the ***** willows and dandelions opening. Yellow pollen entering my hives.

Yep. All hives very busy in the sunshine this lunchtime in my sheltered apiary, with proportionately more bees bringing in pollen than previously. With the weather forecast for next few days I may well have a quick peek in, especially the over wintered nucs, as I expect they might benefit from me giving them a frame of stores saved from Autumn.

The activity was markedly greater in my two poly hives than in the seven wooden jobs.

Everything now! Mahonia, furze, primrose and spring flowers, blackthorn, goat willow catkins, OSR starting to show colour....let's hope for a few days of calm and dry so the bees can get out onto it.

And uuup here our daffs are just opening....

Out on the road this afternoon and passed the occasional field with OSR just coming into flower. Seems to get earlier each year. No way are my bees ready to make use of it, but mercifully the fields around my apiary are yet to show any colour

Yes, the red one looks like a Euphorbia, Mark. Pics. of young Japanese knotweed here shows knobbles on the young shoots.

My thoughts were a euphorbia and the little evergreen shrub was a larrel??..

I get to move/dig up some plants in my job. Thanks for that.
