Marmalade and bees

[GRIZZLY]

Making marmalade today,we got visited by the bees in the kitchen 'cos the window was open to release the steam.All colonies flying strongly in the slight warmth-good to see such activity.Will check for stores and feed fondant if neccessary. :cool: :cool:

Hi Grizzly,

Must be almost tropical down your neck of the woods. Still only about 1 degree in our west coast location

Lucky you - we have been enduring sub zero temperatures for weeks now in the North and our bees are nowhere to be seen (although melted snow round the hive entrances and a reassuring buzz from within whenever we give a tap on a hive wall tell us that all is well inside). Roll on summer!!!
