Hi All,

Well, here in Eastern Ontario Canada it was a green Christmas.  The temperatures yesterday and today were in the 40's and the sun was out.  Must have been warm in the hive as the bees were out flying around.  The bees were probably thinking it was March out.  Unlike poor Murray who seemed to be a tad busy Christmas :) I was standing in front of a hive having a beer the day after Christmas dressed like it was spring out.  There should be snow on the ground and temps about -5 to -10 C (23 to 14 f).  Oh we are going to pay for this I fear :)  The hives still seem to be a good weight so the stores are holding out.  A few mites on the screen bottom board.  

Have a happy and safe New Year everyone!

Kent Stienburg
