CT coast update:
I am located on the coast of CT on Long Island Sound between New Haven and 
Bridgeport. I checked on my hives today and found several of them light on honey 
stores even thought I let them go into winter with heavy stores. We have had 
almost no winter along the coast with very mild temps. The bees have been 
using quite a bit more honey this year because of not being in a tight cluster and 
having many days above 50 degrees.

Today the temp was in the mid 60's (around 15-17C) on one hive there was even 
bees bringing in pollen. I mixed a lot of 2/1 sugar syrup and put two gallon 
feeder pails on several light hives.
