Spring check

Checked the 2 hives at Haddock's yesterday. Didn't open them up but saw bees flying in and out of both. Pollen (pale yellow) coming into both hives also. The one (oscar style) currently has 4 boxes. I'm not sure when Jared put on the 4th box. The other (from a late swarm last year) is still just one box. I was surprised to see they made it through the winter. Saw some plants near by with tons of purple flowers on them - not sure what the plant is. I also saw some dandelions in bloom yesterday. Spring is here!
