Color of Pollen That Bees Collect

Question

My husband says plant pollen that bees collect is red, blue, or yellow. I say it is all yellow, and it is the flower color that varies not the pollen color. Can you help us out?

Answer 1

Pollen color can vary and occasionally (rarely and only in a handful of plants) it can be red or blue. Normally, however, it does not stray from the yellow/brown/green spectrum.
