They're b a-a-a-a ck again, since we've had a few welcome days of less than freezing weather. Today in the 80's here and feral bees are swarming my hanging chicken feeders. I changed the feeders out for wet chicken mash dishes and plan to hang a couple of open sugar water feeders away from the chicken domain in hopes of re-directing these pollinators. Happens every year in the time frame between "winter" and when native perennial plants start blooming again.
