Greetings all,

Saw a first this morning and thought it was worthy of mention.  I live on
Highway 81 in Northeast Nebraska.  This is (one of) the major corridor(s)
for north south movement of bees from East Texas into the Dakotas.  The
first I saw was what appeared to be a semi load of bees going north in
February.  We see a lot of activity going south from September through even
April and the northward migration starting in April thru July.  I see many
times loads of empty equipment are netted to prevent robbing and secure the
load. But I know of no reason for a load of story and a halves on pallets
to be headed north this time of year.  My bet is they were headed for I-90
in SD to go west to you know where.
