Rainy today. Yesterday morning was too, but the afternoon broke out in sunshine, and Tuesday was a very bright warm day with a crazy traffic jam cloud. It seems a little wet for this time of year but Im hoping this means a bigger than usual pollen/nectar harvest in the weeks/months to come.
Had my first taste of pollen yesterday and WOW! it is amazing. The taste is both sweet and gently bitter with an amazing perfumey quality that hits the back of my throat like nothing i have experienced before. Im delighted to taste what the bees eat (besides honey of course) and feel kindof priveleged to be able to eat this substance that came from I dont know how many flowers, collected and concentrated into a kind of flower garden essence of sweetness on my tongue. This flavor of pollen is so full of notes and complexity Im not surprised that many ppl on the interweb say they dont like it. It is intense.
