[QUOTE="Bee Keeper Andy, post: 9254512, member: 187398"] I've seen my bees out on New Years day when the weather has been fine, but in small numbers. With good management a beekeeper will ensure the colonies are strong and by feeding in early spring this will encourage queens to lay early and build up numbers. My hives, based in the North West, have increased and bees are returning with lots of pollen. So while the weather is a key factor so is good bee keeping and also proximity of hives to your crop, bees will forage approximately within 3 miles of their hive. BW Andy [/QUOTE]
