Here in central Maine it's still cold, 0 F and below at night, below
freezing many days. There were no good days for cleansing flights from
Thanksgiving until Jan 25. We then had a few warm afternoons, and have had
since. When we do the bees dirty the snow very well. Since dead bees
don't dirty snow, this is encouraging. I'm hoping for a day warm enough to
give some pollen substitute patties soon. Guess the groundhog got a peek
at his shadow.
