It is 65°F and a nice breeze. Both the Italians and the Saskatraz are out in force today.

I walked out to mine, it was about 28 degrees but nice and calm.

One of my friendly bees flew out to greet me. Did you know they can’t last very long outside in below freezing temps?

I tried to help her back into the hive, but failed.

I have bee news, the mean hive is so mean,

(How mean are they?)

They are so mean they laugh at 34f.

Back when I had mean bees, they would be out flying any sunny day as long as it was above freezing.

The nice bees were not out, but I did see a couple standing guard inside the door.

They very well could be, if you look closely at the video they appear to have cute little ushankas on.
