Poor bee. She had a load of pollen but drowned in her water tray before she could deliver it.

I've stopped feeding the bees, on the advice of two other nearby beekeepers with more experience than I. When the temperature gets above 50, and especially when the sun shines directly on the hive, the girls come out a bit and are still finding pollen somewhere. And I'm guessing that some bees come out for what are delicately called "cleansing flights." Bees don't poop inside the hive and have to wait until the weather cooperates before they can come outside and, you know, eliminate. I've heard that if the temperatures go up after a long cold spell you can see lots of yellow droppings outside their front door. Which reminds me....

Ever heard of the yellow rain charges in Vietnam? From Wikipedia:

Yellow rain was a political incident in which the United States Secretary of State Alexander Haig accused the Soviet Union of supplying T-2 mycotoxin to the Communist states in Vietnam and Laos for use in counterinsurgency warfare.[1] Refugees described many different forms of attacks, including a sticky yellow liquid falling from planes or helicopters, which was dubbed "yellow rain". The US government alleged that over ten thousand people had been killed in attacks using these chemical weapons.[2] The Soviet Union denied these claims and an initial United Nations investigation was inconclusive.

Surprisingly, samples of the supposed chemical agent supplied to independent scientists turned out to be honeybee feces, suggesting that the "yellow rain" was due to mass defecation of digested pollen grains from large swarms of bees.[3] Other scientists questioned the accuracy of the refugee accounts and the reliability of the chemical analyses presented by the US government. The majority of the scientific literature on this topic now regards the hypothesis that yellow rain was a Soviet chemical weapon as disproved.[4][5] However, the issue remains disputed and the US government has not withdrawn these allegations,[6] arguing that the issue has not been fully resolved.[2] Many of the US documents relating to this incident remain classified.[1]
