Spring check and medication run; Checked 30 colonies yesterday, found 2 drones wandering around, brood in all stages and generally plenty of bees. Of course all colonies were not at the advanced stages of brood but some were.

We have another week of 60 degree weather forcast, our fear is we will get an early bloom and a nasty freeze here in January/February.

It looks like a distinct possibility here.
I went through about thirty hives yesterday. A real mixed bag. Most had a partial frame of brood. A few had multiple frames. Some still had plenty of stores. Some were on the brink of starvation. It's going to be a tricky spring.
