Sugar on Snow
While cruising through the woods today I came across these tracks in the fresh snow.
It was plain to see that I had just jumped a pair of bees out of their beds.
Traces of honey on the snow confirmed my suspicions.
Pushing ahead I soon overtook my quarry.
Evidently Northern VT Honeybees yard up during the winter similar to Whitetail Deer. I found them much easier to track on the snow than on bare ground, which can be done but requires alot of patience.
