Our bees are working hard and enjoying the spring sunshine, fortunately we have a large willow tree nearby which is an important early source of pollen and nectar to bees. Other flowers the bees have been visiting include Helleborus, Pulmonaria, Sarcococca, Lonicera fragrantissima, Arabis, Begenia and earlier the snowdrops and a neighbour’s sycamore tree’s flowers which had olive green coloured pollen.
