Over-flight flight
Being engaged in beekeeping, I heard and read a lot about the early-day exhibition of bee colonies. Itself did not have to do this. But it so happened that I had to take the family out of the winter hut well ahead of schedule.
At the point there was still a thick layer of snow, and the weather was not for flying around.
From this premature exhibition, I did not expect anything good, but my fears were in vain. The bees flew safely. As a result, I received more honey from my families than in all previous years, despite the fact that the weather did not favor honey.
