My favorite early spring flowers are up - Scilla [Siberian Squill]. I love that color. Usually the bees are all over it, but this year the wild bees [or neighbors' bees - no way to tell which] are robbing out what's left of the pollen and honey in my hives instead.
I'm OK with that. I'm hoping they're wild bees and when it comes time to swarm, they'll move right in to one of my empty hives.
