Decided to go ahead and keep feeding today. Made up some 5:3 syrup to keep them going. When I feed them tonight they were VERY quiet. First time I haven't heard them buzzing but they seemed to be moving and ok.
Was hoping to do my 2 week inspection tomorrow however it seems mother nature has a different plan for me.
Weather sucks. Has sucked for 2 days now. Very windy and a little on the chilly side. Girls have been flying despite the dreary conditions and bringing in pollen. The wind make for difficult landings. It looks like a plane trying to land on an aircraft carrier in a storm. Up, down, having to circle around but still they keep trying.
We have a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. 80% chance Sunday and 60% chance on Monday. On top of that it will be cooler. I think they said we are averaging 10 to 15 degrees below normal. At this rate the flow will be over before the girls get a chance to enjoy it.
Oh well, its got to get better. Right?
Anyway it will get warmer someday.
