We officially called an end to winter on March 8, 2014. The old Christmas wreaths were finally taken off the garage doors and any other winter decorations were replaced with spring things. The bees were happily flying about, once the temperature reached 50 degrees. I observed many of them orienting to the hive, but a bunch of them were already flying off, scouting about for an early source of pollen. They will need that to feed the growing number of larva in the hive. I'm sure the queens have already begun their spring build-up!
