Here is the question:
    When does spring come to the great Midwest ?
Well it is already here.  The bees told me so.   Last saturday, (Feb. 22)
it was 64 F here, and I wondered what bees would do, so checked them out.
They are not only flying, they are foraging for water, and even bringing in pol
len !  I caught about 30 pollen foragers in 1 hr.  The next day about 40 forage
rs in half an hour.   It had never occured to me that there would be pollen thi
s early, in Feb.  Anyway, an early field season is awaiting again.
                  Regards to all bees and bee-liners!
