I usually equate this with the first large hatch out in spring.
Even if I'm wrong it always shows just at the beginning of swarm season.   :-D
Nuc time is here.

A lot of us relying on queens and bees from down in the dismal swamp, see this is good new.  There is going to be a spring.  The bees are brooding up and if you don't get an algorean cold snap, our orders may be close to on time.  Enjoy them chiggers lad!  The fish are biting thru the ice and I have to go.

Dandelions are starting to bloom and my fruit trees are budding up here. I'm ready for warmer weather-not so ready for the tornadoes that seem to come with it now.
