Weather this week

[Jon]

There is snow predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday and temperatures look like staying low all week so bees might not be able to get out to forage. I am going to check today to make sure all of mine have a little fondant - enough to see them through this week. Brood rearing should be well underway by now so the stores can be depleted very quickly.
Don't panic Captain Mainwaring!

Ditto here in S.W. Scotland.Was hoping to put a second brood chamber +foundation and lots of feed on top but too cold -will have to twiddle my thumbs for a little longer.Must burn something to the heat gods.

Some of my lot are still eating the candy I gave them a couple of weeks ago; the other two got the last blocks the day before yesterday. Just been to buy lots more sugar to give them a syrup boost when the weather warms up a little. A long, cold winter for the poor things!

Weather today is bright sunny and cold.Bees taking down feed - already got thro two pollen patties.Not a chance of "going in" yet.Lots of natural pollen going in whenever the girls get a chance.The earlier snow missed us completely , lots of it to the north,west and south but we got a lot of rain later.IF IT WOULD ONLY WARM UP BY ABOUT 5 degrees.

Still got a few inches of wet snow lying in the garden here in Speyside. That's down from the 15 inches or so we had between Wednesday and Thursday!! When will winter end?!! Hopefully better weather for the bees this week - snow melting fast.

Sunny here but beginning to cloud up in advance of incoming 'weather' due to arrive by nightfall. Just going to change from Sunday clothes and get out into the garden. Will watch, but not disturb, the girls!
