Title: Signs of life
Post by: tefer2 on January 11, 2014, 10:04:52 am

With our warm up here, the undertaker bees are cleaning house.
It's a welcome sight after days of sub zero weather and piles of snow.
Snow shoes are now on my list for next season!

30K-60K bees times 6 legs = an awful lot of tinny snow shoes to buy.  :buttkick:  -Mike

And I would bet Mike knows a good supplier and will help you write a government grant to install them on all those feet.  Wind is blowing literally fifty MPH, it is fifty and the snow is going fast.

Most years I can get close enough to them with the plow truck to walk right up.
Not the case this winter. It would be a snowmobile or walking in.
Think the snow shoes would be cheaper on me.
