Snow Bees

Notes: Sugar water is 1/2 gone.

Lots of pollen going into the hive this afternoon--mostly it's yellow and white. Some seems slightly gray or brown and some is bright yellow; almost orange. Two bees entered this afternoon with white pollen on both their legs and on top of their heads. It looked like they had been playing in the snow.

The bees are moving the Thymol out. I am seeing little chunks of it on the flight deck.

Yesterday I saw the bees ward off a yellow jacket, who was trying its hardest to look like a bee. But the girls were not deceived. Go girls!!
