Yellow pollen:

Yesterday it was about 50s here in East Lansing, MI and I tried to take bee
pictures.  I forgot my camera at home and by the time I went to the large
patch of winter aconites (3 pm), which had pretty yellow flowers, all bees
were gone.  Another prof, George Ayers (we always compete for best bee
pictures :) said he was there at 2 pm and took 15 bee pictures.   I IMAGINE
the bees were going for their pollen, since I did not see any of them.

I managed to get 2 ants and 1 fly on flowers.  will post it in a few days if any
of you are interested!

Today we will be getting >10 inches of white stuff!  the poor bees must be
pretty confused...
