This morning began our first rain of the season. It was somewhat surprising, coming this early in the season, though it isn't as strong as many of our usual Summer rains - coming down just hard enough to thoroughly and completely wet everything.
My schedule required me to inspect several colonies, despite the rain. Since it rains so infrequently in this area, I haven't really had much opportunity to work my bees during rainy weather. That is, until now - and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the cool, cloudy, and rainy weather didn't inspire my bees to behave poorly.
