Hello,
 
I saw a book at a beemasters course in Vancouver over ten years ago that
had a number of colour plates which helped identify pollen types. It was a
small hard cover book. It may have been put out by the IBRA, i am not sure
though. Try Doug McCutcheon's Beekeeping books. 604-546-9870, Armstrong,
B.C. Canada He has over 200 titles and one of them may be just the one you
are looking for. He also helped organise that BeeMasters course so he would
have seen the book then as well. good luck
