It's rough cause the hives cannot be opened and inspected right now given how cold it is, so we don't know how the bees are doing in there. Can only hope they take advantage of the maple trees blooming like they did last year, cause spring flowers are an outright rarity these days.

#i wish the fields hadnt been ruined #they were literal color explosions of numerous flowers #red clover sham rock daisies buttercups thistles raspberry wild strawberry etc etc #but then my dad had to make decisions while in the pits of depression #and renting out the soil for the most incompetent guy ever to use #even IF you started trying to salvage the grounds now it wouldnt show results within my lifetime #not all of those flowers are ones bees take pollen from #like last year we DID get an explosion of flowers in JUNE but #unfortunately few if any are relied on by tame bees #like our lilac bushes in the garden bloomed for the first time in 20 years #but even IF bees took from those itd force us to swap out all the frames and replace the wax #it just gets stuck solid #anyway i still dont have a tag for my rambling #silvi talks #that'll do #silvis bees
