Last night, at 2030, the bees were still pretty active. It got to 73 degrees in our area. I watched the hives for about 5 minutes, and I didn't see any pollen coming in. It's certainly possible that I missed it, or that it was not colorful enough for me to easily see it on the back legs of the incoming bees.
Yet, when I got up this AM, I see one of the weather apps on my iPhone has a "severe" warning for tree pollen counts, for allergy sufferers. It's going to be 90+ degrees today, so after I get home this evening, I'll check the bees's pollen baskets on their hind legs.
For now, the pollen patties will keep going on the hives as long as the bees are using them.
