In 1952 Dorothy Hodges authored the book Pollen Loads of the Honey Bees. Published by the Bee Research Association Limited Pollen Loads of the Honey Bees presents the incredible diversity of pollen forms and colours produced by the flowers in Southern England. Presented as painstakingly developed colour charts and microscopic imagery of the pollen forms, apiarists are able to use this book as a reference guide to distinguish which plants the bees within their hives were collecting their pollen from. The works in this series celebrate this pollen variety in high tone colours and rich glaze applications.
