Over the past few weeks it has been unseasonably warm. So warm, in fact, that the bees have been out and about their hives. All three hives show a strong colony going into the winter. The deep freeze is about to begin this week and with temps that will drop ino the single digots I hope that the girls will be snug and safe.

At the beekeeping club meeting we voted in our new board of directors. The club has high hopes for a new year full of interesting sessions and meetings. People have already begun to plan for Spring orders of bees and nucleus hives. In fact a neighboring county beekeping club has ordered 600 packages of bees for shipment from Georgia to Massachusetts in April.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
