I love my bees. They are so awesome and they do not need me. Not to feed them, not to clean up their poop, not to be their friend.
It was in the 60's today and they were flying so I figured it was my chance to whip up a sugar solution and see if I could help them not starve before spring. I got out there, put the sugar syrup in the feeder, and then stepped back to observe. Those little girls were bringing in pollen! On Feb 1!! I had heard a rumor that redbuds were blooming and that this might be a good year for honey but I didn't think my girls had it in them to go find it.
In this video, look for the bees flying around with giant yellow balls on their back legs. You can see it a couple of times. One girl flies in with some and then another one crawls out of the hive and back in.
