Mike,
How is your Small Hive Beetle situation in the Lower Alabamy?
What do you employ to fight the buggers? Have you, like I did, lost any hives to them in the past? Did the recent polar vortex spill reach as far south as where you live? My plums in the backyard used to bloom on March 1st, but not this year. Bradford pears always coincided with Spring Break (we are on now), but not this year, either. The brutal polar vortex stayed with us about two and a half weeks, breaking records, cooking honeysuckles and privets dull brown, both of which look dead for now. So both plums and Bradford pears appear to be playing possum. Not a bloom yet. Daffodils are blooming though. Bees are bringing in dull-yellow and bright orange pollen in their goulashes (sorry for anthropomorphism!).
Hope you and your bees are safe from recent tornadoes.
Yoon from Oklahoma
