Just thought I'd gloat for a little.  Weather conditions are mild here.  Even this far south the temps are unusually high and of long duration.  The temperatures have been in the lower 70's the past three days and are forcast to be in the mid 60's the rest of the week.  Was into my hives Thursday and found hand sized capped brood in two to three frames in almost all the hives inspected.  That even included hybridized Russian bees.  Will be keeping close check on food stores and have HFCS ready to go on in case they get too light.  Right now, it looks like the colonies are building up really nice for the coming spring.

Where am I?  I'm located at the apex of a triangle about 90 miles north of Pensacola and Mobile.  Montgomery, Alabama is also about 90 miles north of me.

Mike  Looking forward to spring.
