> If the bees are flying, that tells us that you can open the hive.

Our A.m.m. bees will fly strongly at 8ºC (46ºF) - and we have seen a queen 
mate with an air temperature of 5ºC (41ºF)!

But I would not open a hive if the temperature was below 16ºC (61ºF) - as we 
keep saying, all beekeeping is local.

Best wishes
