Lots of orange pollen after heavy frost

We had our first big frost and temps below freezing last weekend. It's now warmed back up to the 70's in the daytime and the bees are hauling in large amounts of bright orange pollen. Some of them can barely fly they're so loaded down. Could this still be goldenrod or have they found some other source?

Mine are bringing in the bright orange pollen, but I also have fall blooming camellias going strong now, so that's going to be my guess. Goldenrod is mostly bloomed out in my part of Virginia. Also seeing some white pollen coming in, but in smaller quantities. Any guesses on that? Not sure what color pollen for Eleagnus is, but that is also in bloom now.
