November in my area.  Pollen flows over.  Weather cool, no flight.  Every
single bee in the hive with a gut full of pollen.

I've been wanting to take weekly samples of 50 bees and perform gut
squashes over the course of the season (I built a device to crush 50
previously-frozen bees at a time on a grid), but haven't done so yet.  I
was very curious about finding such prevalence in pollen in their guts in
November.
