  I had been observing my bees for a few weeks now, waiting for good weather on
 a weekend to look inside.  It looked as if they were just taking "orientation"
 flight but last weekend it was warm so I looked in a hive.  There were lots of
 bees carying pollen, yellow, green and red!!, can give me a clue as to where
 these colors come from, it must be trees because I don't see any flowers.
