[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 912037, member: 6198"] So last year we took amazingly heavy losses which set us on our backsides. This year the loss rate is less than 5% which is amazing...still not out of the woods yet. But the kicker in this is the bees are a month ahead of schedule. This is good, but can also cost us if it gets cold. And as we in Canada and the northern States know, March can turn on a dime...so praying and praying hard. These pics were taken last week. Knee deep in snow and the bees were pouring out. It was a crazy warm day. Now the bulk feeders are out, pics to follow and they are taking in the pollen supplement like it is going out of style...WILD. We delayed calving for two weeks because of how volitile early March is. Now hubby will be on his own except for emergencys while i tend to the bees which are a month early...Amazing. Hubby gave me a couple of hours to help feed. Them 5 gall buckets of syrup weigh 70 lb and we put out almost 150 gallons of bulk feed out. Should keep them busy for a week or so. These pics are from one yard. Last year this yard had no life in it when we went to do our spring work. What a difference a year makes..my heart is happy Hope you like the pics [img]http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh162/rockridgecattle/IMG_0016-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh162/rockridgecattle/IMG_0001.jpg[/img] [img]http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh162/rockridgecattle/IMG_0015-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh162/rockridgecattle/IMG_0004-1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
