More Blue Pollen


A few days ago I posted a pic of a bee on scilla with blue pollen.   I posted it to the bee forum and some of the beeks expressed some doubt that the pollen was blue.

You know who you are.

So,  I got some more pics.

And no, I didn't doctor them.  Geez. 

Bees gather pollen and put it in pollen baskets on their back legs.  It stays put there until they get it back to the hive.   Check out the pollen on the legs of these bees.

What do you think?    Is it blue?
