Saturday was cold, gray and windy here (SE) but I took the top off the hive, slipped another bag of fondant in and closed up. I saw no signs of activity at all. We then spent the afternoon at our local apiary hefting, maintenance and feeding and saw quite a lot of bee activity. I started to worry.

This morning was dry, clear and bright, much warmer than recently and no wind, still no bees and I convinced myself I had lost them. An hour later the hive was covered in sunbathing and buzzing bees. They looked happy and were flying well, I am so relieved and so happy they are still here. I could never have imagined being so upset about insects

I am always very relieved to see mine. Can't understand how I can be so absorbed watching tiny insects flying in and out of a hole.

Our bees by the house were flying yesterday. Probably cleansing flights after having been huddled up in the hive to keep warm over the last week or so.
