None yet, but I'm betting we will see some Sunday.Has anyone seen any yet?
Have you put out your feeders?
I think I'll get mine put out this weekend in case there are any early birds migrating through headed further north.
This page has a map
There have already been sightings into the Philly area.
Never done the bee guards, when I notice bees I take a 16 ounce plastic bottle and do a 50/50 mixture of sugar and water, about half full. The bees go in and when I get enough I put the lid on, shake it and then remove the lid to catch more. They get coated with sugar and eventually drown. Two years ago I filled about 15 to 20 bottles, last year no bee problem.Just put mine up.
FWIW, I had two up last year, one with bee guards and one without. The hummers would not use the one with guards. Once I took them off, the hummers started using it. I'm not using bee guards this year. The feeders I have are pretty bee-resistant and ant anyway.
Ah. So you're the reason for the honey bee hive collapse.....Never done the bee guards, when I notice bees I take a 16 ounce plastic bottle and do a 50/50 mixture of sugar and water, about half full.

Nope, not me. Don't use pesticides on the property at all. It's you flatlanders doing it.Ah. So you're the reason for the honey bee hive collapse.....
Yes! Tons of bees! I feel like we are really getting to experience a nice Spring this year - not just jumping straight from Winter to Summer.No birds yet, but I have bees!
I hope so! I met a friend up at National Harbor today for lunch and it was such a nice day. A bit on the muggy side. I'm now waiting for the storms to roll in.Yes! Tons of bees! I feel like we are really getting to experience a nice Spring this year - not just jumping straight from Winter to Summer.
