It's coming like it does every year. Just may not be the way we like it! I noticed today our two Magnolia trees and the Bradford Pear are budding out. The bees have a strong buzz coming from within the hive, but another 6 inches of snow is coming this week. Ugh.
I'm in chicago and I have activity from both of my rooftop hives. How warm does it need to be to start feeding them? I am thinking 1 sugar to 2 water for now?
