Early Pollen. Apis mellifera, Honeybee, on Scilla bifolia, Alpine Squill, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

On the edge, indeed. It was 10C on this pretty Spring morning when Olymp snapped our Honeybee. Below that temperature Bees can no longer fly, but the Sun was out and so was she and up to her task for her hive. Squill provided beautifully pale pollen - see it sticky in Bee's corbicula.
