The temperature underneath my hTBH was 2 - 3 degrees this morning and there was quite a dense group of bees outside on the landing board.  Every now and then one would detach itself from the group, walk to the edge of the board and take off and at similar intervals a bee would fly on to the landing board and walk inside the hive.  I hadn't been expecting to see any bees flying because of the low temperature - is this surprising?

Best wishes
