Bee Activity

The temps have popped up to 50 today in Richmond, Virginia and my honey bees are showing a bit of activity. The weak hive is showing the most activity, bringing in some pollen resources it would appear (and probably some training flights.) One of my large Maples has just started to bloom a bit (1 in 20 buds have broken), but I did not see any honey bees working it.

The strong hive (as of last year anyway) did not show as much activity this time, but I am not at all worried about these discrepancies anymore.
