Not to rub in the bad weather down here,but I had to comment on wintering at the + side of zero.While out making rounds late last week filling feed buckets,I noticed the first bloom buds on red maple ,which starts opening around christmas,no white christmas here :).
The willow won't be to far behind ,although we are going to have some bitter cold after new years,the mid to upper 30's lol. The bees have not stopped bring in pollen thus far since we haven't had any frost to burn off blooms from the prime rose willow and spanish needle. I have to admit I have no clue what - 30 is from this end of the USA. USAFLA
