Folk School Pollen collection

I just got home from a weekend beekeeper workshop at the John C Campbell Folk School. These are pictures of our pollen collection.

Our teacher was Virginia Webb whose sourwood honey won best honey in the world at the world honey contest.

Virginia had pollen traps on two of the Folk School beehives. These pictures are of Virginia removing the pollen. We poured the pollen into a measuring cup. Then we winnowed the pollen.
