Today was the first day in the Pacific Northwest with temperatures close to 60 degree Fahrenheit. It was a good day to cut back some of the blackberry bushes to get the bee yard ready for the 2018 season. Got to make some room for more colonies. All seven hives have made it through the winter and they were already bringing in pollen today. Looks like I will have to split at least three of the colonies in April to avoid swarming.

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks good as well. We might get into the 60s!

It will be a perfect day for my first full inspection of the hives. Stay tuned for updates.

Today – Lots of happy bees!
