> Coltsfoot

We have yellow pollen loads into all hives on nice days in early spring before dandelions.  The source is Coltsfoot.  My apiary has been in a mixed bush since I started beekeeping almost 50 years ago.  I don’t recall coltsfoot then but the bush floor is covered in it now.  The leaf is the size of a full grown Clydesdale’s foot which shades many tree seedlings.  Should I blame my bees or the person who brought it from Europe?
