It has been warmer, and windy, even rainy, the last few days. Today was very nice around 1400, bright sun, 45 degrees, and calm. Both Swarm and Maria hives got busy cleaning up the hives.

| Maria hive. Look at all the dead bees they have carried out! Almost all the bees on the porch are also corpses that have not been flown away as yet. These girls have been BUSY. They have not carried them very far, generally, probably because it is still not exactly warm out. (Box in background is empty.) |

| Later in the day the Swarm hive got busy. You can see their pile of dead on the porch. But a lot of bees got out for a poop run. Each yellow spot on the snow is a single bee poop. |
