Well still had a light frost on the grass this morning. (Damn groundhog saw his shadow so maybe a late start this year.)
Time to repair any wooden boxes,
See who survived the winter,
Pickup twigs etc.
Feed the girls sugar water in early spring if needed.
Once temps stay above 45°F continuously, i can open the boxes briefly and check how much food they have. A queen will lay 1,500 eggs a day as long as there is enough honey and pollen available.
There was 3-4 days where the girls were flying and gathering pollen.
To be continued...

Honeybee Oasis: Welp wasn't a fire drill.
Sting O Meter 2022 = Seven. I accidentally crushed one and got another sting in the finger tip.
Luckily I had some extra equipment and Swarm Commander spray. They're not in the box yet. Fingers crossed.
