Batty Weather

This weather is driving me batty.  I worked yesterday to prepare for a hive inspection this morning.  I have all my additional boxes ready, just in case it's time to add another deep.  I have extra frames nailed together, painted, and filled my sugar water feeders.  What happens?  It's too cold and windy to venture out.

The bees do NOT like cold spring days.  Nor wind.  So I'm in the house anxiously waiting for the warm happy bee weather to return.  My poor bees!  Trapped in their hives with no foraging.  My empathy is in overdrive.
