Snow in South Texas!
« on: December 08, 2017, 12:35:58 pm »
We had a surprise when we woke up this morning!
Snow for the first time since 2004:




I'd not had to deal with snow on beehives before, so I was left wondering if I should clear the entrance to the hives.  I decided to leave it for insulation purposes.

The first picture was taken at 7:14 this morning.

By 10:30, I knew that there was no need to worry about the hive entrances:








I place the blame for all of this white stuff squarely on Riverbee's shoulders.  She started her snow dance after I bragged about our warm temperatures.

As a warning to all Worldwide Beekeeping forum members, don't cross Riverbee!



Never argue with drunks or crazy people

This is an excellent example of how Global Warming creates cooler temperatures.
