The colors of pollen

I think I understand now how the honey can be very different in color. My bees were initially bringing in only yellow collored pollen. Now they are bringing in red, orange, white and yellow. Just can’t wait to see and taste the honey that they will make. Pretty cool stuff.

Somewhat difficult to capture but coriander pollen has an attractive pastel mauve-pink color. Unexpected, for me.
