      Colo. bees earn their stripes
      Winter work in California primes insects for honeymaking at home

"As winter closes in on Colorado, birds have flown south, the bighorns are
prancing down from the highest peaks - and time is running short for the
bees to head west.

But don't look for great buzzing swarms in the sky.

Colorado has an annual bee migration - but the bees don't fly away under
their own power. This move to the warmer climes of central California takes
place down the interstates, in droning semi- truckloads of hives. Almost a
billion Colorado bees make the 1,300-mile road trip each November and
December, leaving Colorado nearly beeless until they are trucked back in the
spring."

Interesting insight to Colorado beekeepers sending their bees to almond
