Well, Groundhog Day came and went and in this part of the world we didn’t have any groundhogs poking up to tell\u00a0us if Spring was on its way or not, but the bees\u00a0sure had a message!\u00a0 They got busy this past weekend checking out the new buds sprouting on the plum trees.\u00a0 They were especially excited about the heather blooming.\u00a0

I\u00a0gave them a brand new pollen patty to munch on, and they seemed to really enjoy\u00a0it!
