It's been a long raw winter. One of the grayest February we've seen in a long time. Lots of rain. The land under the beehives has been wet. Its March 10th and it's one of the few sunny days we've seen in weeks. Saucer magnolias and red buds are blooming. Lost one hive --not sure why. The second one has two brood boxes on it and appears to be strong, but no sign of queen cells. Seems like winter is going to hang on for a while. The red buds are blooming but not much else. The box has lots of bees they're not bringing in very much pollen. I've been feeding megabee in suspension for the past month. Put up two swarm traps in the area, just in case. Otherwise, I just bewildered.
