BEEKEEPING IN THE NORTHEAST - An account of my beekeeping, not a treatise of expertise, but for friends & family who wish to keep bees vicariously through me, and for the occasional apiarist passer-by.

March 20, 2011

First day of spring was 47 degrees...but those temps below have been a dream this week...in the teens again!

Bless Libby's heart, she laid an egg on the first day of spring!

Opened the hive and inserted a pollen patty. The bees were moving up near the center opening of the inner cover. That homasote board really worked. Lots of moisture but the pine needles for the most part are dry.
