All,
 
Yesterday the air temp never got over 40 degrees F.  I noticed that
were I had emptied my wax rendering pot bee were swarming around to
get to the honey.  I noticed that all of them where Carniolan.  I
observed them coming and going from their hives.  There was no
activity from the Italian colonies.  How cold does it have to get for
Carniolan bees to stop foraging.
