Tom said:" I realize thatAlaska has a different situation than much of the U.S.A." It certainly is Tom. I did a Weather.com search for weather in your area and here in central lower Michigan we have been consistantly 20 to 25 degrees colder than in your area since the end of December. Most days during January we have barely gotten out of the teens! The bees did fly a couple days before Christmas, however!
