We had bees in our bird feeder all day yesterday. I read that there is nutrition for them in the powder from the seed that helps hold them over until they can start to gather pollen when the plants come back to life. I suppose they've probably always done this but I didn't remember seeing it before.

Yes its especially common this time of year before the pollen starts.

Building a couple new hives. Going with long langstroth hives. Tired of lifting honey supers above my chest. This should make my old back much happier.

Icp test back. Nothing crazy is out of whack. Still "high" phos. Not as high as in the past though. Gonna bring levels up to Moonshiners basics because I still have a ton of the additives. Main goal is to keep phos down, Sps growth has been amazing since the levels are lower.
