I can vouch for the delay by weather.  Here in the upper piedmont of
SC we are just mid maple bloom, in the second week of daffodils.  Wild
blueberries not open yet.  We have had maples bloom as early as late
January, usually blueberries by early to mid Feb.  We had more
non-flying weather this year than in my 20 years here.

However, my bees are looking pretty good, the stock is a mix of many
domestic and feral strains, 12 years of the Bond method (live and let
die, with open feeding of syrup and pollen sub).  The Russians have
tended to dominate so they've been thrifty in the cold.

Carolyn in SC
