What a day for the bees! In February?

Today we had record breaking temperatures in Connecticut! The temps got well in to the 70's and the bees were out and about.

I even spotted some bringing in pollen, in February?!!!!!

As the girl to the right is doing some house keeping, the girl on the left is telling the tale in the form of a waggle dance, showing her excitement of her find. 

                                                Another one with pollen!

Before closing them up, I offered some more fondant which they were readily munching on as well as a good sized pollen patty. Hang in there girls, it's a trick! We still have a month until Spring!
