Today was another beautiful day; similar to the last two days except that it was 11C which is above that magic temperature where every bee comes out and goes for a cleansing flight.
This picture has my two hives in the background. If you click on it to view in larger, you can literally see the thousands of little dimples in the snow. This picture was taken at the end of the day.
This is the front of my hive at around noon. As you can see, there is a lot of traffic. Less than an hour later, the hive beside was equally busy. The green hive cluster may be located such that they did not notice or took longer to realize that the weather was so nice; their entrance is also partially covered compared to the white hive.
The single box hives had the chance to get out and do their business. I had cleaned their entrances yesterday and I assume that it helped them.
What a great couple of days! The rest of the week is forecasting rain.
