Fed the bees, 3/5

On the 5th, it was supposed to approach freezing, so we gave them about a pint or pint and a half of sugar water in the feeder. 

I told one of my coworkers that we had fed the bees, and he got this weird look on his face.  "How do you feed bees?  I am picturing these little bitty steaks and potatoes!"

I said "that's it!  That's how we do it!"

He said, "How do they cut it up?"

I said, "With a buzz saw!" 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I kill myself!

Anyway, while watching the hive yesterday (the 6th), I GOT REWARDED!!  I saw at least 5 forager bees come in with pollen on their legs!  YAY!!  I don't know that that is significant per se, but I do know that it impressed the heck out of me when I saw the Johnson's bees doing it back in January.
