Actions:
Cleared overgrown grass and a few small saplings from around a yard that was becoming overgrown to provide safer and easier working conditions for when making splits and other tasks to come in the spring.
Observations:
The cool daytime temperature made cleaning around the hives less stressful since bees were not flying or investigating me while performing the work. Found a black legged tick crawling on my arm after clean up.
Reflections:
It’s feels good to start the season with a clean and tidy bee yard. Keep an eye out for ticks!
Things in bloom:
None observed.
