Noticed a little light pollen today on some foragers and didn't really take much notice as I was moving the hives 3 or 4 feet towards a new standing area , but assume it was Hazel as that is prominent early source around here.
Our first Snowdrop are now out, daffs and crocus miles away.
Found my first hazel catkins in a sheltered wood...but they are so young they have yet to produce pollen.
The good news is the temps are set to rise into double figures for the first time in what seems months....well a predicted 10C....but factor in the wind chill factor and no bees flying...DOH!
