Title: Almost a Need to Canoe Back to the BEE YARD
Post by: blueblood on February 22, 2014, 02:36:00 pm: We have had several inches of snow melt all at once with rain atop of that. This is what I had to wade through to get back to my bee yard! Slipped on the knee high wading boots and off I went.

Yes, I picked the highest ground thank goodness. I just returned to the house from checking on them again. It was 57 today so I figured they took advantage of the warm air again. We have a threat of 3" of snow tonight and low temps the next few days. But, I saw positive activity out of 10 hives! 2 of them are my tbh and one the bee tree. I lost 2 before winter and appears to be 4 during winter. Not too bad.

Very odd weather in Indiana. Like today being 57 and tonight inches of snow with a cold week ahead. Ha! Anyway, don't forget to hook up for a dinner or something if you visit. Greenwood is 20 minutes from my back front door. PM me sometime and I will pass along my cell.
