Pollen Count High – Good For Bees?
Q: I heard that pollen counts are getting high. Is this good for bees?
A: Not really. Most of the pollen drifting around is from trees, which are typically wind-pollinated. They don’t need insects to carry pollen from flower to flower. Further, their flowers contain no nectar to attract pollinators.
