it was very VERY yellow with OSR/Canola and yet the  bees were bringing in 
pollen from 14 different species of plant.
 
We see this all the time.  I remember seeing horse chestnut pollen being
brought in by bees in the middle of hundreds of acres of rape - and I could
not even see any horse chestnut trees.  Clearly there are scout bees willing
ignore all that rape in full flower and search to see what else is
available.

Best wishes
