Sunday 06th January 2013:

Below is a video I took in the garden yesterday afternoon, not often you see bees on the wing in January, took the opportunity to feed them in this mild weather, as they collected so little during the very wet summer. After checking the hives in September they had very little stores. Not enough to last until spring.
