Groundhog Bees?

Well, Groundhog Day came and went and in this part of the world we didn't have any groundhogs poking up to tell us if Spring was on its way or not, but the bees sure had a message!  They got busy this past weekend checking out the new buds sprouting on the plum trees.  They were especially excited about the heather blooming. 

I gave them a brand new pollen patty to munch on, and they seemed to really enjoy it!

So while the groundhogs weren't too helpful, the bees seemed pretty excited to tell us that Spring is on its way...
