I observed some very light yellow or even cream colored pollen coming in tonight. Any insight as to its source?

Any of these plants nearby> heather, chicory, knapweed, impatients, maybe melons or cucs? alfalfa is tannish, sweet corn whitish yellow?
Just a guess though.

 

[MESMBS]

Not sure what's around. Thanks for the ideas. Now I have an idea what to look for!

East Hampton is more on the rural than suburban...

It might be aster - I've noticed some blooming, along with goldenrod.

In Rowayton, some of the same coming into my hives. Purely suburban here. Some might say city.

My girls are bringing in white Dead Nettle pollen. We’re in Maryland and these plants have been in bloom about 3 weeks now.

Seeing the same in Enfield,but not sure of the source.
Tulip poplar has cream colored pollen and is blooming now but I have not seen any in my predominately oak /pine area.(could possibly be oak)
Take a walk,see what's blooming.
Could check with FB Beekepers of CT group.
