Greeting to all list readers from Northeastern New Mexico, USA.
 
After watching my bees collecting a light lime green pollen from Siberian
(Chinese) Elm for two weeks I have observed my bees bringing in a
pinkish-gray pollen.  After a bit of investigation I was able to match
(using a microscope) the pollen coming into the hives with a small plant
locally called Indian Parsley (Cymopterus bulbosus).  Does anyone know of
a botanical pollen key or discriptions that would assist me in
identifying the various plants just by looking at the structure of the
pollen?
