Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung

It seems like just yesterday I was wrapping presents and celebrating the new year with friends and family, and poof, the weather went from very cold to spring, and I already feel like I'm playing catch up. It all started when my friend and Queen cell provider texted me about my delivery dates being moved up. Yep, our season is running 3 weeks ahead of schedule. My calendar is set with the movement of hives, the timing of varroa mite treatments and splits, and picking up queen cells in the parking lot of McDonald's 45 minutes away in a 4-week time span. I knew this was coming since I've already picked up 2 swarms in the area, but ignorance is bliss when you are busy. Thank goodness I planned early and have everything I need. Here we go!
