Lots of dumping of dead bees. Looked through the window. Nicely dark brood comb and a LOT of honey still left, all looking clean and tidy. Hope they make it the rest of the way. Supposed to get cold again. 62F today.
First orientation flights happened 1.5 weeks ago. Colony is large, and building quite a bit of comb. Hope they have enough nectar. The small yellow flowers around the lake seem pretty abundant right now. These bees seem slightly larger than last year's. Not sure if that's possible.
