A Golden Dusting of Pollen

Watching this bee dive into a squash blossom led me to discover this information...."Pollen is used to feed baby bees. It is the only protein source for the honey bee colony. Pollen is vital for the health and productivity of a honey bee colony. Without this protein source, no young bees could be raised. And it is important to have a variety of pollen sources for the young bees. "
