Sorry - I should have used one of the pollen colour charts available online to provide some possible answers to my question!  The field adjacent to us has a lot of ragwort in flower, and this has a yellow pollen, so is a very likely candidate.  Ivy is also flowering at the moment, but the pollen is more orange than that of ragwort...

The bees in my hive are taking in a lot of bright yellow pollen - see photo.  Can anyone identify it, please?
