Whats in flower in your area now.

In the Adur Valley we have, Daffodils and Stinging Nettles in flower. 2 Miles from Chichester we have Dandilions, Catkins and Crocus.

Some of these shouldnt even be growing at the moment let alone be in flower.

 

[madasafish]

Viburnum.

Daffs not even up, let alone in flower. Ditto crocus

Nothing in flower here in Central Scotland that I can see, but the bees were flying for a few days after xmas and bringing in pale pollen.A few inches of snow lying at the moment

Mahonia and Gorze are in flower in northern England and also winter jasmine (but not sure if bees work that)

 

[ellypatt]

Hazel and Alder. Bulbs just starting to show but nothing really up yet.

Hi all,
Before the cold snap mine were bringing in very pale white slightly grey pollen thought it might be winter flowering heather from the garden centres down the road? Then a few days later some dirty yellow pollen. Any ideas? Doesn't seem much to forage in my area though and I am further south?

 

[Swarm]

There's gorse here and there.

 

[busybee53]

Red deadnettle (think it's called lamium) and Choisia - do bees work this? and trees with pink flowers - cherry perhaps?

 

[Ely]

My bees were all over a bush near the hives last week that has leaves like holly but huge yellow catkins. Might be a Mahonia

 

[domino]

We have daffs out in the garden.

 

[Russel]

Bumbles and HB's working the honeysuckle here last week.

The blur is deliberate Trying to handhold macro ain't that easy with bees.

Someones girls should know better?

 

[keith pierce]

lesser celandine and gorse.

 

[thorn]

Viburnum and mahonia, and her next door has a couple of primroseslants in flower. There are catkins on the corkscrew hazel too.

 

[Chrisfnvs]

A little ivy still flowering here alone with winter honeysuckle, mahonia, viburnum and quite a bit or gorse, the bees are also bringing back some light green pollen not sure what that is though. Chris

 

[Erichalfbee]

In my garden I have Mahonia and Viburnum, a few snowdrops, Hellebores just beginning to open, a few celandines, one primrose, one branch of hazel catkins. Most catkins including the alder are shut tight.
There is quite a lot of gorse on nearby hillsides.

 

[Glenviewbee]

We have daffodils, quite a lot of gorse and primroses. I'm sure there are others as well but my plant and flower identification skills need work

 

[REDWOOD]

gorse and winter flowering heather in a few gardens
