Pollen ID Question

[Rebel Rose]

My bees are hauling in lots of a medium or dark, red orange pollen which can made me very curious. (I am in central Illinois.) I am not sure what this color of pollen is from?

I do not see very many dandelions, so it must be from trees.

Trees produce much of the early season pollen. Try this link and see if it helps:

Thank you for the link, as I now see it can be a couple of different things they are getting pollen from.
