Hi all just checking to see when you all think the Illinois season will start coming up.

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.

What portion of Illinois are you from?

See the top right of my post. You're at the other end of the state, so it may be very different for you.

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?

thanks
Eric

It'll get here when it gets here. I still have a ton of equipment to finish assembling and paint. Need a warm weekend to get some painting done.

Sounds like someone has been procrastinating....
