What is a bee's favourite take-away food?

When the weather isn't great, it seems unfair that bees have to go looking for their food when the rest of us have so many easier options... (well some options for those of us living in rural France!).  As Spring approaches though, things on the food front do change for the better for our girls and as more plants and trees start to come to life, the range of pollen and nectar available grows which means a varied diet and (hopefully) healthy young bees.

We have a challenge for the eagle-eyed this week!  How many different 'take-aways' are the bees bringing back to their hives where you are?  Or, how many different colours of pollen can you see on the bees' back legs, just flying around the garden?
