2-24-2012 Hive check

It's been quite a while since I last checked on the hive.  Since I was in Mathews anyway to get some car repairs done at Haskin's Bayside Collision, it seemed like a good idea to check on the hive.  The weather was very warm for February with a bit of a breeze.  We didn't open anything up but the top cover.... but saw lots of  bees coming and going and laden with pollen.  It's amazing that it's still February and there was pollen already being harvested.  I'm guessing Dandelions and maybe even Daffodils.  At any rate, Dad loaned me his Ipod and I took some quick video of the hive. I'm looking forward to getting another hive going this spring... and encouraging this hive to produce some honey.

Sorry about the aspect ratio, I forgot that the Ipod needs to be held in landscape mode to get a full screen.
