Those aren't trichomes that are yellow! There's no telling what that shit is....All of the glands (of former glands) on this herb have been raped and pillaged. It looks like it was handled teribbly after harvest, not a single gland in tact. And as far as that yellow stuff....It is beady, so I'm guessing maybe some sulfur particulates from a huge commercial operation?? In all seriousness, that's fucked up, I wouldn't smoke that if you gave me $100.
