No, not yet in Southeast Missouri though my hives came through the winter with better than expected results and far fewer dead outs.  They look good and we have several frames of sealed brood.

Easter is early this year.  Does this have any bearing on swarming and/or build up?  I can almost always count my first swarm call from a frantic homeowner on Easter or the monday that follows.  Any connection or pure coincidence?
