Resolving to re-start regular blog posts

 I have resolved to start regular blog posts again.  We started the year with pretty mild weather and temperatures in the 50s and up to 60.  That turned our lane into a sloppy mess.
I am down to two active hives.  The one on the far left is vacant.  The other two though seem pretty active on this date.  The temperature was close to 60 I think.  I did get them fully winterized with straw bales on the west and north sides to block the worst winter winds, a sugar block on top of the frames with a quilt box on top of that, and wrapped in tar paper.   So far so good.
Here is a closer view of the bees flying.  There was quite a bit of activity and coming and going.
