I traipsed through knee-deep snow (yes it's been 50F but THERE IS STILL SO MUCH SNOW)... my bees are off in an unplowed field. My shoes were FILLED with snow and my socks were SOAKED but when I got to my hives..

I smiled



the ladies are OKAY and they were FLYING HIGH today



Elizabeth/Devine ( Carniolans )



Victoria/RuPaul (Italians)

I left some sugar fondant as a treat to hold them over

I can't really tell at this point.. the Carniolans are supposed to be more aggressive but that hasn't been my experience. I think they're stronger and overwintered better, but that's just my observation from one winter.

I guess you'll have a better idea once spring really does get here to stay.
