These are some scanning electron micrographs we I took of bee collected pollen. The first three pictures are from a load of “yellow” pollen from some Eucalyptus species and last three are from a load of “orange” pollen of uncertain origin. The next step is to collect pollen directly from plants to make a reference collection. We can then compare the bee collect pollen against the reference collection to get a more solid idea of what the bees are actually foraging on!
