Hive was active again today. Bees coming and going. Lots of them coming back with pollen. Legs are packed with yellow colored material. Don't know what it is or where they are getting it.
Definitely pollen out there - I am seeing more and more bees coming in with pollen - there are crocus, pansies, etc up in my neck of the woods, and chickweed, and today I saw a few dandelions in the pasture- I am sure there is other stuff too!

ReplyDeleteMy hives have all been active too, Ed. But I don't see my bees bringing anything back to the hive with them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is chickweed. My wife came in with a few blooming pieces the other day to show me.
ReplyDeleteLots of pollen... Maple trees and crocuses...
