Here in Connecticut the girls finally got a chance to fly on Sunday. The temp got all the way up to 45 degrees. It's been 35 days since they last left the hive, well I was glad to see the snow turn yellow by the end of the day. The undertaker bees were very busy catching up with the backlog. All 7 hives still looking pretty strong enjoying the fondant I added last month. I can't image some of the colonies going longer than a month without the girls getting out, but they must. I was wondering how long the girls can last without getting out.
Watch out where those honeybees go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.
