Send me your photos of pollen and I'll share them for children everywhere to see and learn more about the world around them.
I have received some fabulous photos of pollen - from near and far away. Pollen is found world-wide, in large trees, and in small flowers; wind-blown dusty, or thick and sticky. Pollen is year round, so check back, I'll continue to add new photos as they come in!
Bees! In addition to pollen, below you will find photos of bees from:
United States, Greece, United Kingdom, Canada,
Germany, Iceland, Northern Ireland, and New Zealand.
