First warm dry day in a while. the #bees are busy. Several of them returned too the hive with full pollen sacks, so it looks like they've decided to stay. Only managed a picture of these three loafers, though.
@MightyBigCar My bees are so hot already they've been bearding! #beefriends
@Gogogadgetpants wow - never knew about #bees bearding before. It'll probably be another month (at least) before it gets that warm here. https://www.beethinking.com/blogs/backyard-beekeeping-blog/14855969-the-basics-of-bearding
@MightyBigCar This is only my third year beekeeping and I still learn so much! I only know about bearding because I thought my hive was about to swarm once.
@Gogogadgetpants If you hadn't mentioned it, the #bees would probably be bearding next month sometime and I'd have thought the same thing. Yay for Mastodon!
