Hi Bill and all

Throughout this thread where we have toyed with the idea of sick bees  
thinking that they should get out of here to save the colony,  I am  
reminded of the Monarch butterfly.  One family line of the Monarch,  
apparently, fly down the middle of Lake Huron to a point off Goderich  
Ontario.  Here they turn and fly east 50 miles then south 50 miles  
then west 50 miles then south to continue their trip.  The reason for  
the diversion is the mountain that was there a few years ago.

PS: Thanks for the pollen chart, most of my bees were returning  
Wednesday with loads of tan/grey pollen likely red maple.  The  
crocuses are pushing through the small patches of snow and ice still  
left.
