A frame of pollen from one of my hives. Each cell has a different colour of pollen. There’s green, purple, orange, red, so many different shades. It looks like a stained glass window.
It fascinates me the difference in pollen colours. It’s not just yellow. #beekeeper #pollen #honeybees #localhoney #honeybeefacts
