Hello everyone,
I am going into my first full year as a beekeeper in Southeast
Pennsylvania.  My question concerns the availability of pollen at this
time of year.  We have had several days of reasonable temperatures and
my bees have been out of the hive.  I have noticed what appears to be
green, mustard and  bright yellow colored "pollen" in the bee's baskets.
I did not think that this was possible so early in the year, before
flowers and trees begin to bloom.  Is this really pollen? I live in a
wooded area with farmland nearby.
 
Thank you very much,
Barb Miller
