I was asked the other day about the colour of lavender pollen loads and must admit that I did not know - not enough lavender in the garden for the honeybees to work it. Pollen looks to be orange-yellow, but someone suggested that the loads are a sort of brick red (like horsechestnut). Dorothy Hodges does not list it in 'Pollen Loads of the Honeybee'. Can anyone help?
