Someone should post some encouraging pictures of colourful spring flowers and fresh pollen dust covered bees please .....
I am anxious to get my 2020 bee season started but at the moment have to admit that am feeling a little depressed.
Old Man Winter will not be releasing his firm grasp here until beyond next Friday, well into April. :(

When the lid goes back on, the bees will spend the next 3 days undoing most of what the beekeeper just did to them.

At least you can take solace in how you are helping those of us that are into spring when you monitor and answer questions while waiting. I appreciate what you offer . . .

I have been around bees a long time, since birth. I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact. I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding. I do not sell queens, I will give queens for free but no shipping.

Tulips, tulip tree, red bud tree full of bees in background. I can hear the excited bees in the red bud tree.
HP, very soon for you to see, hear the same. Hang in there. Soon, very soon: flowers everywhere you look.

Not sure what these are. Anyone? - Nock
According to an app I have on my phone these are viola arvensis or european field pansies.
Incase anyone is interested, this app is called GardenAnswers, you just take a picture of the flower and they give you the closest information on what it might be. I've had good luck with it

Don't worry, HP! We'll save you! *Sound of footsteps running away, distant camera snapping pictures, and footsteps running back.*
