I walked the fields today and I did find some Henbit in bloom and the pollen
was more of a orange color. The red pollen that I am seeing is bright red,
the color of the stripes on our flag. I don't believe this is the source of
the red pollen that I am seeing. Any more ideas? I searched the BEE-L
archives and noticed the post about the bees visiting the flowers at the
cementary and I do have one about a mile away.
