[QUOTE="ScienceGirl, post: 241498, member: 7015"] Mine has been busy ever since we got them, too! The days have been sunny and hot, lately, strange for March/early April... Global warming? Yesterday felt like it reached 90 degrees F! The only thing that I can see in bloom are dandelions, but the foragers are returning with sometimes bulging baskets (uneven lumps the size of a bb gun pellet) of pollen in four distinct colors: light green/yellow, light yellow, bright yellow, and orange. Hmmm... Well, if they're finding protein, I'm more than happy! :clap: The best foraging weather includes: [LIST][*]wind less than 15 mph [*]sunny and warm, no rain [*]temperatures over 60 degrees F (some breeds of bees forage in lower temps, like Carniolans) [/LIST] [SIZE=14px][FONT=georgia][COLOR=rgb(128,0,128)]“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don’t they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.” Ray Bradbury, [I]Dandelion Wine [/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
