When temperatures rise above 10 degrees and the sun begins to warm the air, the bees leave the hive for first spring flights. The first flight is called a "cleansing flight" because bees are tidy creatures and do not relieve themselves inside the hive so they have been waiting all winter for this moment of relief.

During these early days of spring, the bees are scouting the first willow and alder blossoms for the much needed protein rich pollen to feed the first larva who will turn into the first cohort of newbees of the upcoming season.
