What are the darker granules in my bee pollen?Updated 4 months ago

Bee pollen will often have darker granules during certain seasons. When bees forage, they collect pollen from hundreds (if not thousands) of flowers daily. The color of the pollen varies depending on the type of flowers the bee is visiting and what’s in bloom at the time. Certain batches of our bee pollen contain darker, purple pollen granules, which often come from Purple Viper’s-bugloss flowers, or Rockrose, Mustard, and Common Heather plants.
