I checked on their sugar water this morning, but it was chilly and never really warmed up all day. They weren't outside the hive much at all. I'm hoping they're okay, because the mass that was under the lid yesterday, (see yesterday's photos) wasn't there this morning. I'm assuming they were down along the frames perhaps to stay warm. It's supposed to rain/snow tomorrow and twice more this week. Not a a very welcoming weather pattern for the start of their season.
I wanted to show a drone from yesterday, which is labeled The Boy Bee. Drones are bigger than the females with distinct coloring that is notably darker than the girls, and they have gold bands instead of dark stripes. Young bees will often be quite golden and have a "baby" look about them. I think they're quite cute.

A close up of a drone from a previous season. I love their coloring.
