Cleansing flights

[lmehaffey]

I am one happy beek today! After several weeks of unusually cold weather (cold for Alabama, that is), the temps finally began returning to normal. Today was low 60's, so I took off work early and came home to take a look at the hives.....lo and behold: there were bees flying in and out of the hives, hanging out on the "porch" and just generally having a large old time! I am cautiously optimistic that they will continue to thrive.

It is good to see them flying around and moving into and out of the hive.  We had a warm spell here, in the low 50's. The girls took advantage of the weather and did a little house keeping. The weather in eastern Washington has a very mild, so if it keeps up we may have a early spring. I know that I'm being overly optimistic, but what's life without hope.
