Well Friday was interesting. I threw pollen patties on a couple yards in the morning. It was too cold for the bees to fly, but it was nice and dry. By the 3rd yard it had warmed up just enough that the bees started bringing in about 3 types of pollen, the loads weren't heavy but there was a lot. On my drive home I drove through some heavy rain but it stopped about 5 km away from home. Once I was home and started unloading the truck it started hailing to the point of being a bit painful. Then of course it stopped about the time I went in the house to do some office work. Then around 4:30 the sun came out!
