Currently 56° right now. We're going to do OAV treatments tonight and tomorrow night.
The girls are bringing in pollen. We still have some wildflowers and one of our neighbors has a bunch of Shasta Daisy's that are still blooming. The pollen is almost white.

So, one of my more knowledgeable than I am beekeeping friends thinks it might be fines from cracked corn in the chicken feed. His bees bring it in and it looks pretty close to the picture I took. Learn something new almost every day.

I guess so... must be a source of protein, not sure it's the best source.

Well today didn't totally go as planned. We were tearing up the flooring in our bathroom, when my son comes and tells us the freezer that has the bee frames in it was open and it was completely iced up. Sure enough, something must have shifted the last time I was in there and it left a gap. It looked like it snowed in there. Hubs finished the floor removal, but the shower is on hold until tomorrow
Thankfully I was able to remove all of the frames. It hadn't had time to freeze solid except at the very top. Still took quite a while to get it cleaned out. By the time I was finished, I had what looked like a pile of snow on my front lawn and I smelled like buckwheat honey. I'm glad there weren't any buckwheat honey eating zombies around, I might not have survived!
