Nearing Spring

Spring nears, and the bees are still alive. Today felt warm, though it is all relative these days in Western Massachusetts with our latest cold air. I went to bring some more sugar to the girls, but upon lifting the lid I noticed they hadn't touched the sugar I left weeks ago. Still hanging on, a month or so to go before maybe some warmer air can allow them to fly free again. I can only imagine how ancy they feel, given my readiness for springtime that comes each March. It must be worse living with 1000s in a small box.
