2) I went to check on a hive for winter feeding and was stung, why do you think that happened?
3) My bees are bringing in pollen, but nothing is blooming. Where do you think it may be coming from?
Try the Allergy App "Pollen Wise" for current pollen source information.
About pollen and allergies: https://www.verywellhealth.com/bee-pollen-what-should-i-know-about-it-88312#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most%20common,in%20turn%2C%20reduce%20allergy%20symptoms.
4) It's in the 40's and sunny, I've noticed bees digging in the dirt next to my home at the southern exposure. I put the same dirt next to the hives and they ignored it. Do they need something?
5) I'm building two Long Langstroth hives for spring. I plan on using wood frames with plastic foundation. Can I snap off the corners and invert the foundation so the openings are at the top? Do you think the bees will use the holes?
6) I can't see the dead bees in the hive, should I just clear them out blindly? How often should I clear the bottom board?

The end segment was me trying for follow a feral swarm of honey bees not too successfully. I hope to find some real bee-trees during 2021. Happy New Year!!!
