I shredded some of last years rabbit brush that I'd cut down while it was still in bloom and loaded with pollen. The last couple of days have warmed up, and the bees are all over it. I'm guessing they're on the pollen, although there can't be much left.

We have a band mill and today we were sawing up 2x8s and sure enough, it was warm enough for 'em to start foraging. Silver maples aren't busting out yet so they were spending some time in the saw dust collecting.

There's a couple of inches of snow on it tonight. It was 62F when I took that picture two days ago.

Were just throwing a little of that Texas weather change to one of our neighbors. :p
