I'm in Mt Juliet TN. and I started supering first week of March with drawn comb in the supers and the bees started working on them pretty quick. Some of the hives are working on a second super and are drawing new comb. I use medium supers. There have been blooming plants for over a month around here. Locust blooming big, white clover blooming big, and I saw blackberries blooming saturday. So I just thought I would try to stay ahead of um.
There is a chance of frost here tomorrow night. First cool spell in a while.

Dogwoods bloom in March in 07. That is the year we had the freeze [18 deg] first week of April that killed every thing.
