Two days ago, I went out to check the chicken feeders at about 11am and was surprised to find honey bees hovering over the feeders. They were crawling all over the chicken feed and it looked like they were collecting pollen because I could see their little pollen sacks hanging on their legs. I figure it was because the temps had warmed up to the 60's and they went out searching for food. Is it the protien they were after? Yesterday was just as warm, but I didn't see them come back.
I hope it was beneficial for them, I don't really know how the chicken scratch grains were grown or anything. It's hard to tell these days. It was a mix of milo grain, cracked corn and whole oats.
