Still winter.

Winter is still with us. Today it is snowing with the wind blowing very strong.

Just got back inside from looking at our bee hives here at home. Today is a warm day so the bees are flying to go potty.
I say I looked at the bees here at home because we have 10 active out yards too. We went into this winter with 65 colonies, a good recovery we fell from our 2008 spring losses of 63% from Nosema creana.
