We had some late Winter rains, two days of two inches in the rain gauge in my yard, then one day with one inch. Enough that within two weeks the bees have been bringing in wild mustard and creosote bush, cranking up their brood production and filling combs with pollen. Other wildflowers are continuing to develop and should come-in by April (same time the Mesquite flow begins).
To take advantage of our weather, I am continuing to grow small batches of queen cells and use them to help establish more nucs.
