I am thrilled to say that both of my hives have survived through the "winter" months. The unusually warm temperatures here in March have seen the bees out for many of the days bringing in pollen - just look at those colored and full pollen sacs in the picture below.
Although last night dipped into the 20's as will tonight, I don't think it'll have a negative effect on the hives as I have not disturbed them at all to this point by thinking of rotating the deep supers.

We have the house up for sale and looking to move to another town closer to where my grandson, Colin, will be going to a private high school next year. Needless to say, one of the important criteria we are trying to prioritize high on the list of "wants" for the new place is that the yard must be suitable for the bees. I will obviously learn what it means to pack up the bees and move them, and I hope to blog it in detail.

I hope it'll be (bee?) a good year for all bees.
