Nope. You won’t see that in the South.

We’ve got snowman snow person labor laws down here.

someone overdid the sun dance, already in the 90's here!   Had a swarm yesterday too... bees went from starving to swarming in about three weeks!

"someone overdid the sun dance, already in the 90's here!" 

wasn't me.........was it?..........heck i can't remember, i was whining about the snow but this is crazy! we have TEXAS weather in wisconsin.....
not less than 95 d f since last thursday and topped at 104 yesterday. memorial weekend is typically cold and rainy.
wasn't this year. searing hot and humid, made me sweat before i even went outside........... :D

we couldn't even enjoy cooling off in the river, rains further north flooded the river like crazy and all sorts of floating objects rolling around.

i don't know how you southern beeks tolerate the heat and humidity......i can barely tolerate it when it hits 90..... makes me want to go back to the mountains of montana. i think it's the humidity that really gets to me.

I'm still working on acclimatization to the heat.  Don't know any shortcuts. :-/

I think it helps if you don’t see snow more than once every 10 years.
