Just like last year, flowers are way ahead of schedule with Daffodils
and Quince
about three weeks ahead of their "normal" bloom time. Around town, we see Redbuds, Cherries and Magnolias already in bloom. This allows my bees to collect pollen; and they do. This afternoon, they were in full harvesting mode:

I just hope the queen does not lay eggs yet because this will get very cold on Tuesday. While bees can wrap themselves around the queen and keep her warm on a cold night, they have no way to protect the eggs or pupae spread over several frames.
Veggies:
Still eating kale, escaroles, leeks and I still make chervil soup on a regular basis.
For the last few years, growing carrots has been a real challenge with lack of rain or warm seasons. This winter has been the perfect "summer" for carrots with nice temps and good, regular amount of rains. They come out of the ground nice and cool and with an amazing crunch.
