Hive status and update

Today it was sunny and 55 degrees when I got home from work. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw bees all over the crocuses in the front yard. Back at the bees, my one remaining hive, the one started with the Ohio Queen Initiative queen last Summer, was very active. Bees were bringing in bright orange crocus pollen. I opened the top and put in a Mega-Bee feed patty. I lifted up the top box quickly to steal a glimpse of the cluster. The top of the cluster looks to be covering three frames. If they are covering the rest of three frames, I'll be thrilled! Next week has some even warmer weather coming, so maybe then I'll give them a better look.
