I've been watching my bees over the last couple of weeks and have seen a lot of bees returning with pollen but also a considerable number without pollen. Can I assume that those that are returning from afar without pollen are transporting nectar? Are the pollen carriers also carrying nectar? Would any bees be carrying water when nectar is available? Fascinated by all of the activity.
I'm located in the SW corner of Missouri. (Fruit trees have just finished flowering)
Thanks,
Mark Hubbard
