Color of Bee Pollen

I purchased bee pollen from a local health food store. However, it is mostly green with yellow. This is supposed to be a local bee pollen. (west coast in Seattle Area)

On your site and others it states that bee pollen is yellow?

Have I been had?

Great question. Probably not. We often get variances in pollen color based on season and the local plants in the area. Most pollens are yellow and orange in color but not all. I personally have never seen a predominantly green pollen before but it is possible. Perhaps contact the company and question them about it. They may know, if it is indeed local, the predominant vegetation in the area that is causing the green pollen.
