Hey, ya'll!! Did you get a chance to get into your bees
yet? We got into ours to see how they were doing - 52'
and the ladies were flying like crazy! We put on our
pollen cakes (they jumped into them like ya'll would not
believe - would not even wait for us to finish spooning it
out!) and thought it best to feed one hive (3-brood
chambers last fall and they were up into the super, golly
that's a lot of bees!) Anyway, we are really happy and
waiting for the red maple next month. A little bee told me
they were bringing in pollen in Homerville GA yesterday
(14 Jan 2010), so it shouldn't be long now....
the WebWitch
p.s. - my Breath-of-springs are budding out and three in
the sheltered hollow are starting to flower!
p.p.s. - they are covered with snow now....
