We didn't have an opportunity to inspect the hives this weekend but the bees have been all around the garden working the flowers every day.
The colour of the pollen can be seen in the bundle on the bee's legs - this poppy pollen is very pale grey, sometimes it is even jet black! Bees do not mix pollen varieties - this bee will just work this variety of poppy only and it will only be stored in cells with identical pollen in the hive.
